The impeller is made of high impact polypropylene.
It's loud, even when mounted. I wish I'd bought something else, it's too loud for residential use. Sent from my mobile; sorry if I've been brief.
It’s quiet. Much quieter than the typical range exhaust fan. Guess the real issue is where will it be installed?
I installed this for a remodel customer and located it in the attic above the kitchen. From memory I would say the fan motor is very quiet. The sound of the air moving through the duct is what is heard, but if you are actually moving air, that will happen with any fan. I don’t think it would matter much if the fan is closer to the stove. I would recommend not to use a flex duct but a rigid duct where ever you can. flex duct will slow the air down and the semi rigid flex duct with small ridges in it will not only slow down air, but add to the noise of air moving (like the way a A/C return will if you close it most of the way. Also the less turns the better. Every turn is counted as several extra(less) feet of how far you can duct out.
I installed this fan to pull heat off my wood stove and move the warm air through duct work to the basement of my house. The fan is fairly loud at both the suction (stove) and exhaust ends of the duct. The fan itself though is fairly quiet. Its annoying enough that am considering some sort of baffle system. I recall seeing "mufflers" but they were pricy. If I had it to do over, I would probably look for a squirrel cage type blower fan. --Dave
Hi there, I once used the FG 4 and it was noisy. The FR 6 might be better which is plastic. You might also want to use a speed controller with it to slow it down to an acceptable noise level. Hope this helps Colin Colin Smith Industrial Electronics Ltd. Please note: New email ****@***.***
It can be used in such an application, however keep in mind that it has a maximum temperature of 140 degrees, so it is not suitable for venting combustion exhaust. The unit is compatible with galvanized stove pipe.
You can use this fan with a speed control switch, but there is not a listed sone rating for the fan.
This fan is compatible with a speed controller and appears to be nearly silent at full speed.
This fan has a plastic blade.
