Panasonic WhisperCeiling 380 CFM 3 Sones Ceiling Mounted Energy Star Rated Bath Fan with Built-in Backdraft Damper
Model: FV-40VQ4|Item: bci2201852
Details
The Panasonic FV-40VQ4 WhisperCeiling 380 CFM fan features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a double-tapered, dolphin shaped bladed blower wheel to quietly move a large amount of air at reduced RPMs, so it's quiet enough that you might not even know it's on. With a 3.0 sone level and rated 380 cubic feet per minute, this fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years due to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Panasonic designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. The fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust. This Energy Star qualified fan has a built-in damper to prevent back draft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Covered by a manufacturer warranty for period of three years from the date of the original purchase.
