11 best panasonic wall mount bathroom fan

Product description

Panasonic designs ventilation ceiling exhaust fans that not only produce maximum airflow, but also remove air impurities while operating at whisper-quiet audio levels. Panasonic FV-0510VS1 WhisperValue DC bathroom fan is the perfect multifamily solution; also ideal for single family and manufactured homes. The revolutionary ECM motor with intelligent self-adjusting SmartFlow technology senses the amount of resistance in the duct run and automatically adjusts the fan speed to deliver the optimal CFM output, even in the case of a complicated duct run. The built-in Pick-A-Flow airflow selector provides the unique ability to select your required airflow (50-80-100 CFM) with the simple flip of a switch.

The unique L-shaped bracket simplifies installation and provides strong support. The L bracket is interchangeable to be positioned to either the left or right side stud for optimal fan placement. Panasonic ventilation fans are ENERGY STAR certified and provide better efficiency and comfort with less noise. The fans feature high-performance motors and an improved blade design, providing better performance and a longer life.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is the On-Off switch
Answer:	The FG600S is compatible with many of the Broan-NuTone exhaust fan. However, the QTRE080FL-A is not on the list. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 888-336-3948 for assistance with obtaining replacement parts for the QTRE080FL-A.
Question:	What is the depth needed to install this directly through an outside wall
Answer:	The FG600S has a quick connect pass-thru plug. Simply plug the new grille into the fan receptacle and the motor into the grille’s pass-thru plug. We would not recommend altering the product.
Question:	can this be mounted to a window to function as a window fan in my kitchen
Answer:	No, it is a replacement grille/light only.
Question:	Does it have to be hardwired or can it be plugged into a nearby outlet
Answer:	I unfortunately bought three of these units. The light is extremely bright and glaring. Totally unacceptable! I have ordered light filters that are said to be able to dim the light as well as lower the light temperature from 3000K down to somewhere near an acceptable 2700K. Of course, I’m shelling out more money for a fix that should have been caught in the product design process.

User questions & answers

Question:	So it looks like this unit is suitable for post construction installation. Is it preferred to let the sensor manage the fan or control it manually
Answer:	Yes and connect the two red wires together
Question:	What size duct does this fan require
Answer:	I think all the new dc motor fans have a startup lag. It's so quiet it's hard to tell its on anyway. I've installed over 20 and never had a complaint (I'm a contractor)
Question:	Can this be retrofitted easily
Answer:	The 510vs1 has three airflow settings - 50-80-100 CFM compared to the 810vss1 with only two settings - 80 or 100 CFM. The 810vss1 on the other hand has Multi-Speed Control where the 510vs1 does not; from the sell sheet: Multi-Speed for ASHRAE 62.2 Compliance allows you to select the proper CFM settings to satisfy ASHRAE 62.2 continuous ventilation requirements. The fan runs continuously at a preset lower level (0, 30-70, in 10 CFM increments), then elevates to a maximum level of operation (80 or 100 CFM) when the wall switch is turned on.
Question:	What is the scone rating
Answer:	This model is designed to be powered continually. This runs the fan continually but at a low speed that is selected in the box. The switch is connected to the red wires (signal wires). When the switch closes, the fan ramps up to the high speed. this speed is selected in the box either 80 or 100 cfm. To use a humidity sensor, you can install a humidity activated switch to either the constant power (turns low speed fan on instead of constant fan) or to red signal wires ( turns high speed fan on)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it loud? Can you have a conversation In front of it
Answer:	It's not very loud, yes you could have a conversation near it. Had to do a small adjustment to free the fan, due to repacking from a previous customer.
Question:	Can this be left on 24 hours/day in a utility closet
Answer:	Indefinitely, I am not sure, but it does run here in 100 degree+ temps for most of the 24 hour day and has done so for about 4 years. If the temps are not too high it might be like one of those machines that if it runs all the time it will go until the bearings go out after a bunch of years.
Question:	does this fan have a continuous duty motor
Answer:	I can only comment on the Broan 509 and the specs on their site spec sheet say "Continuous Operation: No". https://www.broan.com/Bath-Vent-Fan/Utility-Fans/Through-Wall-Fans/509 Also, the speed controller cannot be used with Impedance protected fans, and yet Broan suggest it for the install.
Question:	Is the 10" thickness the minimum, or can it be trimmed down
Answer:	When installed as directed--with all components unaltered--the minimum thickness is 9 inches. However, as other have indicated, you can reduce this further by trimming the metal components of the duct. In fact, if you managed to glue/seal the fan housing directly to the plastic vent cap, the whole assembly requires only 5 inches. So there are a lot of options to put this unit in a thinner wall. If you trim the duct work, just be sure you have means to tape/seal everything once it is in the wall. On the final step, the length of the flexible duct is what enables you to tape/seal all the connections on the exterior side before compressing everything back into the wall.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anybody installed this recently in a standard 16 inch on the center ceiling joist? It appears some older models were too wide to fit
Answer:	I prefer to set it manually
Question:	hi, why your fv-40vq4 picture which show on the top is different from the website site of the panasonic. Does your product is the latest product
Answer:	4".
Question:	can a dimmer be used for this fan to make the noise lower
Answer:	I put this in a total renovation where we took the walls and ceiling to studs so placement was easy. Our house was built in 1980 and 3” tubing was used. Now it is 4” and that is all I could find in the big box stores. I could not make the hole to outside bigger but found an adapter at amazon. The outlet on this is oval so I used flex tubing and secured it with a hose clamp and foil tape.
Question:	Does this fit in standard ceiling joist
Answer:	noise level rating. The lower the sone level, the quieter the fan

User questions & answers

Question:	is this fan meant to be installed on single floor bathrooms? i'd like to install one on the bottom floor of a two story house
Answer:	No problem as long as your exhaust vent tubing reaches an outside source.
Question:	I want to mount this in the bedroom to remove cigarette smoke is this one okay or do i need something different
Answer:	Yes, this would be an effective way to do that. 290 CFM is much, much higher than your standard bathroom fan so you can move a lot of air. I have one of these, although for a different purpose, and it's very quiet for the air volume it moves. Just be sure to have some way of getting air into that room while you use it, through an open window or under a door. It has to pull the new air in from somewhere as it pulls the smokey air out.
Question:	What are the grill dimension? Thank you . Is it 4in or 6in duck work
Answer:	The grille dimension is 12.5" square. A 4" flexible duct from the fan was used.
Question:	Can this be used in a kitchen
Answer:	Bull on some of the answers to this question. It can definitely be used in a kitchen! You should not mount it directly over a stove though! But using it to exhaust the room of smoke as an example is fine. You would have to be cooking with grease all of the time like a restaurant for any build up that would cause a problem. I have used fans like this in kitchens for many years without any problems. Panasonic is going to say it is not a kitchen fan for one because they do not want to get in trouble when you mount it right above your cook top. OK to mount in a kitchen to clear the smoke from the occasion burnt toast or popcorn or bad smell of some cooked foods. NOT OK to mount directly above a stove.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the humidity sensor adjustable? If so, what’s the range
Answer:	Kacey, the fan unit is direct wired to the circuit. you can put the fan on a light switch or do like we did and buy a Humidistat, for about $28.00. I love the fact that you get into the shower and the fan comes on automatically, and turns off when the air is dry. The fan unit is fantastic, and you can barely hear it run. great choice for a unit
Question:	Does it come with an adapter oval to round
Answer:	I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood). It has a metal diverter that changes the outflow from outward to downward and the diverter also has a flap in it to keep outside air from coming in, but since the "outside" for me was protected from weather, and I wanted outside air to come in even when the fan was not in use, I didnʻt use the diverter. I just mounted the fan in the wall (after making an 8 inch or so hole in the wall). To keep bugs, etc outside I built a square frame around the outside hole with 2x4 wood, and made a small window screen covering for it. Worked out well. The fan is so quiet I have to look at it to see if its on.
Question:	Does this also have the nightlight
Answer:	Depends on how redneck you are and how redneck you want your trailer to look. Seriously, I cannot imagine how this would work in a window with any degree of safety, security and/or style. If you are genuinely unconcerned about the looks, then as others have indicated, you could probably rig it to work. But I would get a much cheaper fan to start with, like on of the broan units. Good luck!
Question:	Is this LED light dimmable
Answer:	It is designed to be hardwired. It's a pretty conventional set-up, where the leads terminate in a small electrical box the piggybacked on the top of the housing that slides into the wall space (at approx 11:00 angle).I toyed with the idea of connecting a plugged chord to the leads and snaking them around the fan housing and have the cord exit between the housing and the snap on cover but decided against this approach because it would pinch the cord a bit and present (albeit minimal) a fire/shorting potential. It could be done with kludging but I would recommend against it. If the AC outlet box is below the unit and you don't have to pass through a stud or a fire block, you could connect using romex thru the wall to the backside of the outlet box with NO hazards.
