Broan-NuTone 509 Wall Vent Fan for 8 Duct, 200 CFM

Bid farewell to oppressive heat and humidity in your garage, as well as unpleasant odors in the kitchen, laundry room, or recreation space. The Broan 200 CFM Through-Wall Ventilation Fan is the ideal choice for areas up to 195 sq. ft., including single-car garages. It's also perfect for targeted ventilation near workbenches, trash cans, vehicles, or lawn equipment. Constructed with durable galvanized steel, the housing offers excellent resilience against environmental conditions and everyday wear and tear. This fan comes with a built-in exterior wall cap/vent, streamlining the installation process and eliminating the need for ductwork.

For added convenience, you can customize your fan with Broan-NuTone's range of wall controls. If you prefer automatic operation, opt for options equipped with humidity or motion sensors. To ensure the fan switches off automatically when you leave, consider pairing it with a delay-off or countdown timer (note that wall controls are sold separately).

Reflecting on its storied past, in the midst of the Great Depression, two ambitious entrepreneurs redefined the housing industry with innovative products. In 1932, Henry Broan crafted the Motordor Fan—a quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation solution that laid the groundwork for what is known today as Broan-NuTone LLC. By 1936, J. Ralph Corbett introduced a melodic door chime designed to replace the jarring door buzzers of the time, thus establishing what is now NuTone, Inc. Both men started with modest beginnings in the Midwest, developing their companies through revolutionary concepts that aimed to provide unparalleled convenience for homeowners across the nation.

As both firms grew, they evolved into global competitors, consistently launching cutting-edge products tailored to consumer needs. In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and took on the lead role within Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, later dubbed the Broan Group. Meanwhile, NuTone underwent ownership changes, first selling to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and subsequently being acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek completed its acquisition of NuTone, incorporating it into the Broan Group and rebranding it as the Broan-NuTone Group.

In January 2000, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. officially transitioned to Broan-NuTone LLC, with subsidiaries including NuTone Inc., Aubrey Manufacturing, Inc., and Rangaire LP. Today, headquartered in Hartford, Wisconsin, Broan-NuTone LLC employs over 3,200 individuals across eight countries on three continents, solidifying its position as North America’s premier manufacturer of residential ventilation products. These offerings encompass range hoods, ventilation fans, indoor air quality devices, as well as retaining significant market shares in areas like chimes, central vacuum systems, intercoms, medicine cabinets, built-in electric heaters, whole-house fans, attic ventilators, paddle fans, ironing centers, trash compactors, and speakers.

To summarize, the versatile ventilation fan not only combats heat and humidity but also significantly enhances air quality by removing unwanted odors from vital areas such as garages, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Its in-wall installation process requires minimal effort, thanks to the built-in components that negate ductwork needs and facilitate swift installation. Experience high-quality performance with an operational efficiency of 200 CFM, making this fan suitable for one-car garages or rooms up to 195 sq. ft. Its galvanized steel construction further ensures lasting durability, making it a top choice for homeowners.
