Old Work Bathroom Exhaust Fan
I replaced a 30 year old nutone fan with this one.
Old work bathroom exhaust fan. Afterwards use a dusting attachment on the vacuum to clean inside the fan s housing and motor. I chose it because of the easy retrofit. The guys ran 4 flexible duct between the fan and the soffit cutting it to length. While leaving extra length may help during the installation your bathroom fan will have to work harder to move air through.

Bathroom fan maintenance before cleaning your fan turn it off at the switch or circuit breaker. 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.

After removing the cover from the fan place it on a towel and vacuum it using a brush attachment. The fan features 1 4 sones for quiet operation and vents moisture in bathrooms up to 135 sq. Ventilation fans improve indoor air quality by venting moist air quickly outside which helps to control mold and mildew growth.

In this particular installation tom ran the exhaust duct into the attic and through a sidewall to the outdoors.
