5.7" Outlet Duct - Caution
Be careful here!
This unit has an outlet duct of 5 19/32" which DOES NOT match any standard ductwork.
I ended up using 6" flex duct that was crimped down to the outlet duct via a 6" clamp but that's hardly professional.
I suppose this unit is designed for a market other than the USA.
The electrical outlet box is mounted (tack welded) directly on top of the housing flange which means you must cut a sheetrock opening
that will compensate for this outlet box dimension. (otherwise the outlet box would come in direct contact with the ceiling sheetrock).
You will then have to purchase a 6" to 4" duct adapter if using as a replacement and exhausting via the roof or soffit. Again not ideal for air flow.
The unit is very quiet but look for a unit with a more standardised dimension otherwise, you will vastly complicate your install.

Great Fan, Difficult Install
Pros:
- Very quiet for how much air it is moving.
- High airflow (190cfm) version, great for larger bathrooms.
Cons:
- It says 6" discharge, but it's actually slightly smaller, which was odd. I screwed in a 6" rigid elbow and then foil taped the joint.
- Difficult for retrofit applications. For installation, the opening in the ceiling drywall is quite large (12-13/32" x 17-7/8"), due to the electrical box and discharge duct. You will need to do some ceiling drywall repair after installation. Since my ceiling drywall is 5/8", I had to buy a full 4'x8' sheet since Lowes/Home Depot only sell 2'x2' repair sizes that are 1/2" thick.
- You have to build the support structure. I used 2x4s.
Do your research before hand! This took a lot longer than I was expecting due to the ceiling repair work and duct replacement. I was replacing a $15 builder's special that had a 4" discharge. Due to the 6" discharge, I replaced the entire ductwork from...
Not exactly as advertised
The statement "so quiet you may never know it's on" is totally false. You definitely know it's on. That said, it is quieter than the Nutone fans, and the tone of this fan is better. In other words, the Nutones sound like a train is coming through the bathroom, this fan sounds more like a dull humming sound. Better than most, but it is absolutely NOT Whisper Quiet in no shape or form, as advertised. It's the better of two evils..so to speak.
