can this be used in a bathroom with a shower? Our current bath exhaust fan is theoretically over 100 CFM, but it doesn't seem to do much of anything.

I don't know exactly what you need for your bathroom but this definitely seems like overkill. My suggestion would be find a better bathroom exhaust fan and make sure the fan is exhausted correctly to the attic. Maybe all you need to do is clean your existing exhaust fan.

you need a higher CFM exaust fan for your bathroom,preferably 600CFM should do the job.

I wouldn't see why not as long as it physically fits. I use them for sucking smoke off of heat activated taping machines.

This moves lots of air, you could adapt it to any use with the right connectors.

This would work great for a bathroom exhaust fan. Keep in mind the negative pressure because this fan is pretty powerful so an open window or door is prob necessary for best results.

Yes, i think it can be used as an exhaust fan and the air flow can be noticed at 2ft or a little more. Is not a súper strong airflow but can certainly feel it.

I don't see why not cause it is made for bathrooms and bathrooms make a lot of steam . But the company tells you to install it upright just for that reason. The fan works great, pulls a lot of air and is quiet. I don't think that you will have any problems at all. Good luck

If there 7s a shower in it then yes get this fan . If its over four or five feet to your outside exhaust vent you want the extra power plus isnt it just worth getting this bigger fan an avoiding the mold issues later?

This fan as well as any Panasonic ceiling mounted bath fan are suitable for use in a damp enviroment (in a shower) as long as the fan is connected to the load side of a GFCI receptacle or a GFCI circuit breaker but not a screw in fuse it cartridge fuse. Any questions consult a qualified licensed electrician to be safe.

It moves a lot more air than a circular fan and it will get the air around the room. Sounds like you really need and exhaust fan for a bathroom and this will just blow the air around it will not remove it from the space.

1) Very high. I would say it's not suitable for bath/kitchen, cause the sound is 6x's my bathroom/kitchen fans. 2) Perfect as a home shop/storage/garage area, as there is no filter, direct venting through wall, and it does move dust and things quickly in my 6' x 20' home hobby shop.3) If you are looking for a replacement or new fan for bath, get a Broan QTRE0808R Ultra Silent. Installing this fan is a snap, really. You cut a hole from their template, reach through and screw in frame, then lift the unit up, push till you hear a 'snap' and its done.

Maybe consider a .5 sone bath fan http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R2LE4G/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=hi

I really am not sure about putting it inside a shower I just used I for the bathroom as a fan and light works great for that.

Yes. There is some rationale behind what you've read, fans are motors, inductive motors. I use two of these in my house, both on bath fans, both work just fine. The timer is rated for a 1/6th HP load, that's a pretty big bathroom fan, roughly 124 watts. you should be fine, but if you really want to make sure, check to see your fan is < 1/6th HP.

I have it in three bathrooms on three fans. Over a year now with one bathroom fan getting daily use. My certified electrician installed (I purchased) and he made no comments about potential problems. It works well for me!

We use ours in an outdoor shower stall, and as long as you have plenty of ventilation you should be fine. We do not let ours get direct spray from the shower, I do not think that would be good.

I am assuming your bathroom does not have ventilation and you want to place the fan between bathroom and bedroom. Correct me if my assumption is wrong. I would not do that no matter which fan you use. Either make a vent out or if its a condo and has HOA rules install a ductless fan.

Interesting question...don't know the answer...but will offer a guess as to the cfm...perhaps 100 and energy use age is like 20-40 watts...intermittent ..it is about equivalent to a cheep bath fan but quieter..

I'm sorry for the delayed response. We are new to Amazon and I have just found these unanswered questions! We use the quietest 60 mm computer fan on the market, 20 decibels is the rated noise level. We've been installing these on boats and have found that the sound cannot be heard outside of the head (bathroom), only about 5 feet away with the door open. The advantage to our system is that the fan is located at the exhaust end, independent of the toilet. So it can be mounted in a place that will shield the area from noise. I hope that answers your question, Geoff

The flow through this unit would probably be too large to be used this way. A better choice might be the "Panasonic FV-10NLF1 WhisperLine 120 CFM In-Line Fan, 4-Inch Duct" unit Amazon sells. I use the 120 cfm unit as an exhaust fan on a switch for a single bathroom. I use the 240 cfm unit as a vent fan on a timer for four rooms. You will probably need to connect the power to this unit through the furnace controls so that it is switched on and off with the furnace.

Yes, I think it could be used to pull the moisture, and a do better job at that. It easy to hook up. I may try to spray paint with rustoliuem paint, just don't spray the motor inside put tape over it , I think it would last for many years, I would consider using an 8 inch fan also a lot more cfm . I used a squirrel cage fan to do this which was a little more time consuming and also put one in my shower to dry the shower out . After doing that I would use the 6 or 8 inch fan instead,if I had to do it over , you can also use a timer switch.
