50 CFM is very low & probably the weakest. Will it be able to vent a 6x8x10 with (12 ft duct) bathroom and meet the code?

Not sure about code but go with the 80 cfm model .Have the 50 cfm in our 6 x 8' bath and it is slow to exhaust the room

Broan suggest a flow rate of 1 CFM per sq.ft. area of the bathroom. For a 6x8 bathroom a 50 CFM unit is only just adequate. In my case, the bathroom is 40 sq.ft. and the 50 CFM unit works well. It is certainly quieter than the cheaper Broan unit that the builder installed in my new house. While an 80 CFM unit would be better for your bathroom, I would be concerned about the higher noise level of the 80 CFM unit.

Most certainly! My shop is 24 x 36, but with 10' ceilings. I typically run mine on low or medium in extreme cases of dust. It does a great job of keeping the air clean. One of the things you need to keep in mind is the installation location. It's best to mount the unit near a wall and parallel to the wall. The idea is while the unit is running, it creates a circular air pattern through the shop. The air flow creates a circular pattern around the shop and brings the dust back to the unit to be filtered. I'd highly recommend you give it a try.

I imagine one could use this fan as an exhaust fan for a bathroom but I wouldn't recommend it... it won't meet code and could pose a hazard as it is not grounded. A typical bathroom exhaust fan is about 50-140 CFM, this fan operates at 110 CFM. Also I don't know how well the fans electronics would stand up to the moist air if the said room has a shower or bath.

Yes it will. I don't know if you have access to any air conditioning whether it be down stairs or what, but by placing the fan toward the bedroom it will draw the cooler air up to the room. I have 2 fans of these to keep a 3 BR 1 1/2 bath cool in high humidity and high heat. I LOVE mine!!!!!!. They are not noisy either, but you can change the fan speed to what is comfortable for you. I wish you the best. I gave these fans a 5 star and will buy again. God Bless!

I would say no. This fan mounts in the wall. It fits through the thickness of the wall and vents directly to outside, using no duct. If you need to use a 4 inch vent pipe, I would buy a fan made for that application.

This fan will work very well for that room! Using mine in a slightly smaller area (132 sf) and only run on low speed to circulate AC from ceiling in the warmest room in house. I believe you will be happy.

Customer service said it's okay - "The unit will operate well in the environment you have described. The air being removed from the bathroom will be considerably cooler than the attic which will reduce the fan temperature as it passes through the fan."Regardless, you should install attic ventilation at the same time. 130 and higher is too much and damaging to your roof.

I doubt it. For applications that need continuous airflow you really need a larger compressor. Check the tool you want to use, which will tell you the flow rate (cubic ft per minute) for the compressor you need.

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.

Bob, If venting just a enclosed toilet 80 CFM would be fine, But if your venting a standard 3 piece bathroom install a 110 CFM fan. Jetted tubs in Master baths I would recommend 150 CFM+ [pending size of room] and install a dehumidistat or timer to better control humidity. Hot tubs require twice the CFM for proper ventilation. My two cents!!!!!MarkInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

The 4" duct size will not compromise the CFM rating as long as it is a short run, approximately 10' or less. For longer runs it is recommended to use the 6" duct size to maintain proper air flow and allow the motor to achieve the 110 CFM.

If the goal is to install a humidistat controlled fan and it meets the desired CFM rating, it is nice packaging design to adapt to most any requirement. However,mine suffered early life failure after 6 or 8 months so I suspect the fans are not rated for 24x7 operation.

We use it to vent two bathrooms at once with a "Y" branch fitting to take humidity out. Works great,so for a basement, probably would work well also. We let it run all the time coupled with a speed control ,low when no showers are going on, and high with a shower.

No. It moves a lot of air and it would be restrictive to go to a 4 inch duct.

I would think that info would be on their website. My bath is about 8 x 12 and it works fine. I don't think it would work well in a very large bath without central heat vents. It does have a powerful fan and is quiet. Wish I had had purchased the one with the light and night light.

I don't know but expect it will work. I've measured from 20-212 F and seems to be reasonably accurate. I have an Everstar small portable room air conditioner. Reads 52 coming out and the tube for exhaust reads 105. Currently it is hot and humid outside. Price is right.
