The WhisperValue® DC™ FV-0510VS1 Ventilation Fan is engineered to meet the diverse needs of modern living spaces, offering unmatched versatility for both single-family homes and multifamily housing developments. Designed with an ultra-low profile of just 3-3/8”, this ENERGY STAR® certified fan seamlessly fits into standard 2×4 stud bays without compromising performance—a game-changer for tight spaces or complex installations. Its unique L-shaped mounting bracket simplifies setup by adapting to left or right studs while ensuring secure placement in ceilings or walls.
Equipped with Panasonic’s advanced DC motor and SmartFlow™ technology, this fan intelligently adjusts its speed based on duct resistance, guaranteeing consistent airflow (50–100 CFM) even in intricate duct systems. This self-optimizing feature ensures optimal ventilation while reducing energy consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional models—a win for both efficiency and long-term cost savings. The built-in Pick-A-Flow™ selector lets users easily match airflow output to specific needs via a simple switch flip, making it ideal for bathrooms or kitchens with varying ventilation requirements.
Safety and compliance are prioritized: UL-listed for tub/shower enclosures when installed on GFCI circuits and rated for wall mounting eliminates ceiling modifications in fire-rated areas—a critical advantage in multifamily units where code adherence drives significant savings on materials like fire dampers. With a thermal-cutoff fuse and robust 6-year motor warranty (3 years parts), this fan combines durability with quiet operation—perfect for spaces demanding reliability without noise disruption.
The compact design pairs seamlessly with optional duct adapters (sold separately), offering flexibility in layout planning while maintaining compliance with EPA standards through its ENERGY STAR certification. Whether upgrading an existing home or designing new construction projects, this fan delivers adaptable performance backed by Panasonic’s reputation for innovation and longevity—ensuring efficient air movement that meets today’s demands without compromising future-proofing potential.
