Practical Guide to Installation

Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig.20) Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing in the attic. Our fans and fan/light combination units do not create excessive heat that is a common problem with recessed light fixtures or some competitor’s fan/light combination. Our efficient, cool-running motors and our LED lighting unit do not create enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations.

FV-05-11VK1, FV-05-11VKS1, FV-11-15VK1 specifications

Panasonic has established itself as a leader in the market for ventilation fans, and the FV-05-11VKS1, FV-05-11VK1, and FV-11-15VK1 models are prime examples of this commitment to quality and innovation. Designed primarily for residential use, these fans are engineered to enhance indoor air quality by effectively removing moisture and odors from bathrooms and other spaces.

The FV-05-11VKS1 model features a powerful, energy-efficient motor that operates at a low noise level, ensuring a peaceful environment while promoting ventilation. Its unique design involves a built-in pick-a-flow speed selector that allows users to choose between two airflow speeds—50 CFM and 80 CFM—providing flexibility based on personal needs and room specifications. This feature is particularly beneficial for homeowners who desire customized ventilation solutions.

On the other hand, the FV-05-11VK1 model also incorporates a similar motor and airflow options while emphasizing enhanced energy efficiency. With a quiet operating noise of only 0.3 sones at its low speed, it is one of the quietest fans in its class. This is critical for spaces like bathrooms where silence is often preferred. Additionally, the FV-05-11VK1 is equipped with a built-in damper system that helps prevent backdraft airflow, ensuring that conditioned air remains inside the home while outside air is effectively vented.

Lastly, the FV-11-15VK1 model showcases Panasonic's dedication to performance with its 150 CFM airflow capacity, making it suitable for larger rooms and higher moisture environments. This model retains the low noise level characteristic of its siblings, operating at 0.4 sones at low speed. It's an ideal choice for larger bathrooms or laundry rooms where increased ventilation is necessary to combat excessive humidity.

Across all three models, Panasonic employs its renowned ECM motor technology, which provides quicker and quieter operation while also ensuring the fans meet Energy Star standards. This commitment to energy efficiency not only saves utility costs but also reduces the carbon footprint of the household.

In summary, the Panasonic FV-05-11VKS1, FV-05-11VK1, and FV-11-15VK1 exhaust fans are designed with user-friendly features, advanced technologies, and superior characteristics that enhance indoor air quality while ensuring a quiet, efficient operation. Whether you are considering a replacement for an old fan or a new installation, Panasonic’s offerings are an excellent investment for maintaining a healthy home environment.
