Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods of 70 (seventy) CFM (cubic feet per minute) ventilation fans for bathrooms with recessed can with light and having the motor partially inside and beneath the blower wheel. A housing for the bath fan can be attached to joists in the ceiling by a long telescoping mounting brackets. The motor and blower wheel can be attached to a mounting plate inside of the housing, which can be removed as a single unit to allow the motor to be easily replaced or repaired, and also to allow for the inside of the housing to be inspected during and after installation of the exhaust fan. A ring about the light can have vents that receive incoming air into the fan, which is exhausted therefrom by the blower. Seals such as elastomeric rings can seal the bottom of the can to the light, and the top end of the can to the decorative ring shaped pan. A vertical panel can separate a first compartment having the motor and blower from a second adjacent compartment having the light.
