BROAN-NuTone 696N Fan
The Broan-NuTone 696N Fan is a standard-profile ventilation solution designed for consistent moisture control in utility rooms and smaller bathrooms. Engineered for ceiling mount installation, this unit delivers a certified 50 CFM airflow rating to effectively mitigate humidity and prevent mold accumulation. The assembly features a torsion spring grille for easy access to internal components and a plug-in motor that simplifies field replacement. Built with a galvanized steel housing and a built-in backdraft damper, the 696N ensures efficient exhaust fan performance through 3-inch ducting. This fan is listed for use over bathtubs or showers when connected to a GFCI protected branch circuit, making it a versatile choice for code-compliant residential applications. The 4.0 Sone rating provides a clear audible indicator of operation, ensuring the unit is managed effectively in rental or high-traffic environments where small room ventilation is essential.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- Simplified Installation: Features a 3-inch round duct connector and sturdy mounting ears for quick attachment to ceiling joists.
- Durable Construction: The thermoplastic polymeric grille resists yellowing and matches standard ceiling finishes for a professional look.
- Reliable Performance: Equipped with a centrifugal blower wheel and a permanently lubricated motor designed for long-term HVAC ventilation reliability.
- Maintenance Friendly: The removable motor assembly allows for cleaning and servicing without needing to disturb the ductwork or housing.
Common Installation Questions
Can the 696N be used with a 4-inch duct?
Yes, but you will need a 3-inch to 4-inch duct increaser. Maintaining the proper duct diameter is critical to achieving the rated 50 CFM airflow and minimizing static pressure.
Is this unit suitable for wall installation?
The 696N is specifically designed and UL listed for ceiling mount applications. For wall-mount requirements, verify local building codes regarding ventilation fan orientations.
Does the motor require external lubrication?
No, the 696N motor is permanently lubricated. Routine maintenance should be limited to removing dust from the blower wheel and grille to ensure optimal air movement.
