  • will be using fan in an electrical closet/room to assist in ventilating both dampness and any fumes from charging battery bank (2 deep cell marine batteries) used for emergency power back-up (running power inverter). Do you think this fan will do the job? Again, closet or room is very small, probably 3.5 feet by 4.5 feet by 6.5 height. Will be hooking up the Broan 24 hr timer so that fan does not run all the time. thanks, Joe

    A. This will work for a room of that size.

  • Could this fan be used to vent odors from a half-bathroom? We want a small wall-mounted fan that would vent into an unused area of our basement.

    A. The Broan 512M is the perfect size for venting the odors for a half bathroom. This is not a 100% seal from the outside and could cause a draft.

Product Reviews

Through-The-Wall Utility Ventilator, 70 CFM, 3.5 Sones 4.5 5 7 8
very weak power. a feather didn't even flicker when held 10 inches from the fan. December 1, 2010
Just what the doctor ordered The fan was perfect for our remodel needs. We had no attic room for a ceiling exhaust fan, so this "through the wall" fan fit the bill. The installation was super easy and the bathroom stays steam free; the mirror doesn't even fog up. The fan is a bit louder than some, but in no way unpleasant. One of the things that attracted me to this particular fan was its size... A little fan doing a big job. October 18, 2010
Good product We needed a pair of exhaust fans for our bathrooms. After purchasing the first one, decided it was worth getting the second one. The fans have a sone of 3.5, which is low enough for me and it was easy to install, though changes in my installment method were needed due to the construction of our older model home. We are pleased with their performance. September 4, 2010
Product is ideal We purchased this fan to run above our popcorn machine in our family/theater room. It helps keep the greasy popcorn from filling the air and instead sucks it outside. July 8, 2010
pretty good fan This fan works pretty well in a very smal area. It is a bit loud, so you don't want to run it continuously. June 10, 2010
Excellent Quality Product I am very happy with this item. It was very easy to install and performs flawlessly. It is very powerful but yet very quiet. February 25, 2010
utility fan Fan was much better than expected and VentingDirect was great to work with September 8, 2008
