Old Work Bathroom Exhaust Fan

The fan features 1 4 sones for quiet operation and vents moisture in bathrooms up to 135 sq.

Old work bathroom exhaust fan.

After removing the cover from the fan place it on a towel and vacuum it using a brush attachment. In this particular installation tom ran the exhaust duct into the attic and through a sidewall to the outdoors. While leaving extra length may help during the installation your bathroom fan will have to work harder to move air through. Other venting options includes running the duct up through the roof or down through the soffit.

Afterwards use a dusting attachment on the vacuum to clean inside the fan s housing and motor. A decent bath fan for the price. I still had to work from the attic side because the 3 inch vent pipe had been cobbled in there and it would have been difficult to attach it to the new fan from below. I replaced a 30 year old nutone fan with this one.

Here this old house general contractor tom silva shows the proper way to install a bath vent fan. Ventilation fans improve indoor air quality by venting moist air quickly outside which helps to control mold and mildew growth. Cut the ductwork only as long as needed. Broan nutone exhaust ventilation fans allow your home to exhale eliminating humidity odor and airborne particulates from your bathrooms closets mud room laundry work out space and more.

I chose it because of the easy retrofit.
