Do you have a question about the Whisper Green Select FV-0511VKS3S and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Hi my name is William Mumma and I **** a building inspector with the city of Moses Lake WA. I have a series of townhouses where they are using your fans as part of the whole house ventilation system using a 4" flexible duct. Prescriptively per the residential code this is not allowed but the manufacturers installation instructions supersede the code. So my question is , Is a 4" flexible duct approved per the manufacturer or is a 4" rigid round duct required? and if a flexible duct is allowed does it require a larger diameter and is there a limitation on length? I also noticed that a 6" duct is recommended as opposed to a 4" and would like a little clarification on why that is exactly. Any assistance you can give me in regard to this would be much appreciated. Thank you and have a great day
A 4" duct is not recommended for the Panasonic Whisper Green Select FV-0511VKS3S fan. A circular 6-inch duct is recommended for best performance and proper installation. Using a smaller duct, such as 4 inches, may reduce airflow and efficiency. If a 4-inch duct must be used, a 4-inch duct reducer is available as an optional part. However, this may negatively impact the fan’s rated performance. A 6-inch duct is recommended because it reduces airflow resistance, minimizes noise, and improves energy efficiency.

@Mr. Anderson Thank you so much for the response. I have been doing battle over this for awhile this will definitely help
Can this **** be used with a Honeywell HVC0001 Wall control switch
