RVF 4 Ext Centrifugal Fan

4" exterior wall exhaust fan, white, 120V, 1~

Item #: 40040

This exterior exhaust fan extracts stale, humid, and polluted air from indoor areas. Application examples include bathrooms, utility rooms, residential garages, etc.

 

• Outdoor installation ensures fan motor noise stays outside

• Galvanized housing with painted cover minimizes corrosion potential

• Operable in air temperatures up to 140°F

• Neoprene seals ensure minimal leakage in high temperature ranges

• Built-in thermal overload protection with automatic reset

• Rubber gasket for ease of duct installation

• Five-year factory warranty

 

With the motor in the airstream, the RVF fan provides the constant dissipation of heat build-up even at partial load that gives the fan best-in-class longevity and reliability backed by an industry leading warranty.
