Panasonic Ceiling Vent Fan 3" duct?

Posted by Tube Audio on June 9, 2009, 12:37 am

Hello

I just got a Panasonic WisperValue ceiling fan for my bathroom.

The duct on the fan is 3" however the duct in my roof is 4".

I guess I will need a 3" to 4" adapter, I would assume these are available.

If they make them in a right angle elbow should I get it in this version or
should I get a straight 3" to 4" adapter?

The vent in the roof is almost directly above the area of the fan. Should I
run solid or flex? Or a mix, Solid going up and then flex to the roof vent?

Also how does the flexible duct stay in the roof vent? Do I press it in and
then tape it?

Help and ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

I guess you never read the installation instructions.

Apparently they should have been written in Picturegraphs.
