Old Work Bathroom Exhaust Fan

I replaced a 30 year old nutone fan with this one.

Old work bathroom exhaust fan.

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.

Here this old house general contractor tom silva shows the proper way to install a bath vent fan. The guys ran 4 flexible duct between the fan and the soffit cutting it to length.

The fan features 1 4 sones for quiet operation and vents moisture in bathrooms up to 135 sq.
