Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 512M Through-The-Wall Fan:
We installed this fan to exhaust accumulated heat in an upstairs laundry room. It works wonderfully and looks nice, too.
Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 512M Through-The-Wall Fan:
For a novice installer the installation instructions can be misleading. You have to build a box in the wall cavity to mount the fan, the instruction diagram indicates the fan can be mounted to drywall which is not recommended.
Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 512M Through-The-Wall Fan:
[...]fan was nice and compact for bath with limited wall space. except for the rather flimsey metal flange,and extention hose( I did not need to use the extention hose.)The install was fairly easy. Good instructions.I would recommend this unit for a small room.Noise level is tolerable,and it keeps my mirrors from fogging. Good product.
Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 512M Through-The-Wall Fan:
I was worried if this fan had the push to go through the wall turn a 90 degree bend and then push air 6 more feet to the outside. Well it does. It performs very well. A bit loud but it does a great job in our bathroom.

It's not the quietest fan out there, but it's powerful and quick. It's also a nice design.

great for venting a smelly room
Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 512M Through-The-Wall Fan:
Installed in both a kitchen and bathroom where none existed before. Fairly easy to install, but I had to drill and chisel thru exterior brick. Instructions need addressing; 6in hole called for not big enough to get flex pipe through, need 6 1/2inches. Flex pipe not pkgd well, came crumpled and needed straightening.
Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 512M Through-The-Wall Fan:
I've used this model a couple of times. It's an easy install and is quiet enough to keep the client happy.
If venting through brick you may wish you had a 6" coring hole saw.
Comments about Broan-Nutone Broan Model 512M Through-The-Wall Fan:
[...]works great.Looks good too. After hole was cut in the wall, Brent installed it in 5-10 minutes. When I smoke I just flip the wall switch, works great.
