WhisperValue® DC Fan with Built-in Condensation Sensor

The WhisperValue® DC Fan is the perfect multi-family solution. It is also ideal for single family and manufactured homes. As the lowest-profile ENERGY STAR®-certified fan available, it actually fits in a 2"x 4" stud bay. The low profile, 3-3/8” housing depth and unique L-shaped bracket allow this fan to be installed virtually anywhere - in ceilings or walls.

ECM Motor - The Best Performing, Most Energy Efficient Motor Available

The revolutionary ECM motor provides the best performing, most energy- efficient motor available. Intelligent, self-adjusting SmartFlow™ technology senses the amount of resistance in a duct run and automatically adjusts the fan speed to deliver the optimal CFM output, even ineven in the case of a complicated duct run. Featuring SmartFlow™ technology, the Panasonic ECM motor moves more air, uses less energy and lasts longer than other motors in its category.

Pick-A-Flow® Airflow Technology

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. With the flexibility to choose the proper CFM level, you are assured that one fan will satisfy a range of ventilation design requirements and perform, as promised, even with a complicated duct run.

Condensation Sensor

Condensation Sensor helps control bathroom condensation to prevent mold and mildew. Sensor technology detects relative humidity and temperature to anticipate dew point, automatically turning the fan on to control humidity. Built-in Relative Humidity (RH) sensitivity adjustment enables fine tuning for moist conditions and for satisfying CALGreen requirements. The fan will run for 20 minutes before turning off.

3-3/8 in. Housing Depth is the Slimmest Design Available

With a 3-3/8" housing depth, the WhisperValue® DC fan wih light is the slimmest design available. The extremely thin profile opens up options for where you can install the fan which is UL listed for ceiling or wall mount. Installing a vent fan in a wall means that you won't need to cut a hole in the fire-rated ceiling and then buy a radiation damper to meet fire-resistance requirements in the building code. In a multi-family housing development, this means big savings.

Long Life Means Reduced Costs

Whether you are running a household or a business, you should not have to replace little things like a vent fan. Panasonic fans use less energy, move larger volumes of air and run cooler, which means they last longer. Our motors are equipped with a thermal-cutoff fuse, greatly reducing the likelihood of overheating and motor failure.

Installation Flexibility with a Simpler Bracket and Optional Duct Adapter

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. Optional 4 in. Oval to 3 in. Round Duct Adapter(FV-VS43R-sold separately) is available to give you flexibility in duct layout and design. Panasonic fans are also UL listed for tub/shower enclosure (just install them on a GFCI-protected circuit). With these great features, your installation options open up.

ENERGY STAR® Certified for Energy Savings

Panasonic ventilation fans are ENERGY STAR® certified, where guidelines exist. They have been engineered to comply with the ENERGY STAR 4.0 requirement for increased efficiency (CFM/Watt), ensuring low cost, energy efficient operation. ENERGY STAR vent fans meet strict parameters set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They provide better efficiency and comfort with less noise, and feature high performance motors and improved blade design, providing better performance and longer life.
