## Description

Product Description Say goodbye to unbearable heat and humidity in the garage, unwanted smells in the kitchen and odors in the laundry room, rec room or garage. The Broan 200 CFM Through-Wall Ventilation Fan is the perfect solution for rooms up to 195 sq. ft, including one car garages, or use for spot ventilation near areas such as a work bench, garbage can, car, or lawn mower. The durable galvanized steel housing provides superior protection against the elements and wear and tear. It features a built-in exterior wall cap/vent which reduces install time, no duct work needed. Customize your fan with one of Broan-NuTone’s wall controls. For automatic operation, choose from a humidity or motion sensing control. To automatically turn off the fan after you leave the room or garage, pair the fan with a delay-off or countdown timer. (Wall controls sold separately.) From the Manufacturer In the midst of the Great Depression, two aggressive young men emerged with two new products that would make major contributions to the housing industry. In 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor Fan that provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation. His creation launched what is today known as Broan-NuTone LLC. Four years later, in 1936, J. Ralph Corbett developed a melodious door chime replacing the obnoxious door buzzer of the time. His development launched what is today known as NuTone, Inc. Both men, headquartered in the Midwest, started their companies with a simple product and a few employees. Each expanded their companies, creating revolutionary new products that provided unmatched conveniences for homeowners nationwide. Both companies quickly became global competitors and continued to provide innovative, superior products to meet the needs of consumers. In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and became the lead company of Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, which was named the Broan Group. During this same time period, NuTone was sold to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and was then acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek acquired NuTone, adding it to the Broan Group and renaming the group the Broan-NuTone Group. Then, in January 2000, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. became Broan-NuTone LLC, with NuTone Inc., Aubrey Manufacturing, Inc. and Rangaire LP as subsidiaries. Today, Broan-NuTone LLC is headquartered in Hartford, Wis. and employs more than 3,200 people in eight countries on three continents. It is North America's largest producer of residential ventilation products such as range hoods, ventilation fans and indoor air quality products and also holds major market positions in chimes, central vacuums, intercom systems, medicine cabinets, built-in electric heaters, whole-house fans, attic ventilators, paddle fans, ironing centers, trash compactors and speakers.

Review: Great Utility Room Fan - Fan installed easily and the damper works great. We used to have a plain small window with screen in our utility room. I was able to remove the window and install this vent. It works great and with the damper I don't have to worry about hot/cold air coming in through fan in the summer/winter months. It moves a lot of air. It is fairly noisy but for our utility room w/toilet it is a perfect unit. Product is quality made and it appears that if something fails it should be easily fixed/replaced.
Review: The exact solution I was looking for. - I bought this fan to go through the wall of an exercise room I use with my wife. It can get pretty humid in there especially in the summer. The fan works well, Is reasonably quiet and was simple to install if you are comfortable with basic wiring and construction. Broan customer service can help you determine if you are buying the rigt size fan for your application. I tapped off an existing 120v outlet and brought power to a fan wall timer and speed control on a 2 gang box. I can adjust the speed of the fan and the duration it stays on. I could not use a ceiling fan in my situation so through the wall is a nice alternative. The fan comes with a self closing external damper to keep weather out. They even make a model with a built in switch if you need it. I had to go through a 12 inch cinderblock wall and then my studwall but is was easy and inexpensive to extend the length of the fan sleeve with off the shelf 8" round duct from a big box diy store.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this fan be connected to a wallswitch?**
A: Yes, of course it could be.  In that case, both the wall switch and the onboard rotary switch would have to be turned on for the fan to run.  You could leave the onboard switch in the ON position, then use the wall switch to control the fan.  A simpler solution would be to buy the Broan Model 509 fan, which is the same unit  m i n u s  the built-in switch, intended to be used with a wall switch.  It also costs around $10 less.  Bottom line, the 509S has a built-in rotary switch and the 509 does not.Here is the manufacturer's specification sheet on the 509(S): http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/pdfs/info/Broan+508-509-509S+Spec+Sheet.pdf and here is the installation instruction sheet: http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/pdfs/info/Broan+508-509-509S+Install+Guide.pdfHope this helps.Terry

**Q: does this fan have a continuous duty motor**
A: I can only comment on the Broan 509 and the specs on their site spec sheet say "Continuous Operation: No".

Also, the speed controller cannot be used with Impedance protected fans, and yet Broan suggest it for the install.

**Q: How can we vary the speed of this fan to facilitate rates of air exhaust?**
A: Yes it Can. After talking to a Broan rep he stated a speed control. I suggest this one.

**Q: Does this product replace a berns air king ventalation fan?**
A: Idk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The exact solution I was looking for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's loud
*by R***Y on February 1, 2014*

I installed this fan to replace my 40+ year old Nutone wall exhaust fan which still worked fine but had gotten too grungy and didn't compliment the new tile backsplash. The new one is just as loud as the old one. Yes, I read the sound rating so I knew there would be some type of loudness associated with this fan but I didn't expect it would be just as loud after 40 years of technological achievements. The installation was fairly easy since the hole was already in the house. The only annoying part is that my kitchen is on the second floor so I had to stay outside on a ladder at that height for awhile to rip off the out metal housing and install the new one. Wiring was simple ( three wires). After it was installed I found that the new backsplash meant I couldn't use the furnished switch knob or the threaded rod that held the plastic grill in place. I replaced that threaded rod with a longer one but when you screw it back on you'll notice the plastic grill is flimsy and can't be tightened very much or it will crack it. If Broan spent a couple more bucks to make a thicker plastic or stamped metal grill it would be more efficient. I had no choice but to order the longer plastic switch knob. The cost of the longer knob was about $4-5.00 and shipping was about $7.00. Although the knob arrived in a week, it only lasted for about a week. The end cracked right off at the switch end. Seems its very flimsy and if you turn the switch on the wrong way (there's no letters or arrows to indicated ON or OFF) then you can kiss it goodbye after a couple of times . I call Broan and explained what happened and to their credit they sent me a new one for free. I got the feeling they've had these calls before so there was no real resistance or hesitation to resend me one. I also called their tech support line and the woman I spoke to was very knowledgable and patient with my electrical connection questions. In hindsight, I should have ordered the model with the remote 2 speed switch because it's still a stretch to the corner of the wall where it's located, and at the lower speed it wouldn't be as loud. I gave 4 stars only because of their cost cutting solutions by using the cheaper material that failed, and would it kill them to included 2 different size plastic knobs and threaded rods. It would probably cost them another dollar or less and that would keep their customer reps free for more important customer service questions."We're experiencing longer than expected wait times"
