SOLER & PALAU
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SOLER & PALAU from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Soler & Palau SWF-100 and SWF-100X through-the-wall exhaust fans?
The SWF-100 and SWF-100X are both standard ducted through-the-wall exhaust fans rated for 115V AC nominal voltage and a 4-inch duct connection. The SWF-100 delivers 119 cfm and covers up to 200 square feet at 6.6 sones. The SWF-100X delivers 171 cfm and covers up to 300 square feet at 9.1 sones. The higher airflow of the SWF-100X comes with a higher sound level. Both are suitable for residential and light commercial ventilation where stale air, odors, or moisture need to be removed. Selection depends on the required air changes per hour and the acceptable noise level for the space.
What are the power and duct specifications for the Soler & Palau KIT-PV100X inline duct fan kit?
The Soler & Palau KIT-PV100X is a general-purpose inline duct fan kit that operates on 120V AC single-phase power. It has a maximum airflow of 153 cfm and uses a 4-inch duct connection. The motor is rated at 84 W and the housing is galvanized steel with IP44 protection. The kit includes a mounting bracket. It is a single-speed fan, but it can be speed controlled with an external controller. Typical applications include residential and light commercial general ventilation where a compact inline fan is needed for ducted exhaust or supply.
Can Soler & Palau inline duct fan kits be used in bathrooms or damp environments?
Several Soler & Palau inline duct fan kits, including the KIT-PV100X, KIT-TD150F, and KIT-TD150L, carry an IP44 rating. IP44 means the enclosure is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and against water splashes from any direction. This makes them suitable for damp environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. However, they are not rated for direct water jets or immersion. For continuous operation in high-humidity areas, ensure the ducting is properly sealed and terminated to prevent moisture ingress into the fan housing. Always follow local electrical codes for installation in wet locations.
What is the coverage area and airflow for the Soler & Palau SWF-200 through-the-wall exhaust fan?
The Soler & Palau SWF-200 is rated for 416 cfm airflow and covers up to 750 square feet. It operates on 115V AC nominal voltage (120V AC supply) and uses an 8-inch duct connection. The sound level is 14.1 sones. This model is intended for larger residential or light commercial spaces where higher exhaust capacity is required. The 8-inch duct allows for lower air velocity and reduced pressure drop compared to smaller duct sizes. It is a standard ducted through-the-wall exhaust fan for general ventilation, moisture removal, and odor control.
Are Soler & Palau inline duct fans speed controllable?
Yes, the Soler & Palau inline duct fan kits listed, such as the KIT-TD150F and KIT-TD150L, are single-speed motors that are speed controllable. This means they can be paired with an external speed controller to adjust airflow. Speed control is useful for balancing air distribution in multi-branch duct systems, reducing noise during low-demand periods, or matching ventilation rates to occupancy. The KIT-PV100X is also single-speed and speed controllable. When selecting a controller, verify compatibility with the motor type and voltage. The fans operate on 120V AC single-phase power.
What is included with the Soler & Palau KIT-TD150F and KIT-TD150L inline duct fan kits?
The Soler & Palau KIT-TD150F includes two fluorescent grilles, while the KIT-TD150L includes two LED light grilles. Both kits feature a thermoplastic housing with IP44 protection, a single-speed 120V AC motor rated at 65 W, and a 6-inch duct connection. Maximum airflow is 293 cfm. The grilles serve as air terminals and integrate lighting into the ventilation system, which can simplify installation in spaces where both functions are needed. The kits are designed for general ventilation in residential or light commercial settings. Mounting hardware is typically included; confirm specific contents with the product datasheet.
