            A:  No. It isn't a good idea to downsize the duct on an exhaust fan as it will reduce the amount of air that the fan can move by a significant degree. For example, the cross-section of a 3" duct is 22.18 square inches, while a 4" duct is 39.43 square inches.

              Install tip
              I just installed this fan. I really like that the fan is low noise. I agree with some of the other comments that the install guide could use a few more details. After a bit of effort, I was able to get the adaptor plate installed. I hope this sketch and photo will help others. Having a better detailed sketch in the install manual would have saved me some time.

                  Amazing fan—but not all that easy to install
                  Whenever I do any electrical installation, the first yeehaw is that when power is applied, it works. And it did. The second thing is that when a manufacturer claims that a vent fan is quiet, it is quiet. And this fan is—set on the higher speed, it’s much quieter than any other fan I’ve ever had. The third thing is that when the manufacturer claims that it will exhaust the humid air in a relatively largish bathroom (9x7) during and after a shower, it will do that. And this fan definitely does it. I can now step out of the shower and immediately use the mirror—hmmm, maybe that’s not such a good thing! So the fan is definitely a 5 star. But the instructions for installing this fan are really miserable! If I had not watched a few YouTube videos and wasn’t already relatively handy, it wouldn’t have been possible. Of course, that I was doing an entirely new installation and doing it completely from inside the bathroom (except for installing the vent cap on the roof) without ever going into the attic made it more difficult. It was an 8 hour chore! If I had to rate only the instructions, it would be a 1 star. Why did I do it that way? First, I’d had another 10” of insulation blown into my attic and didn’t want to disturb it more than necessary. Second, where the fan is installed, the roof is relatively low, so it would have been very difficult, lying on my belly to string wires and the exhaust vent tubing. And third, at my age (almost 77), crawling around in an attic is one of my least favorite things to do. While time consuming, it was better to do everything from below except for the roof work.

                    Nice Unit
                    Found the installation to go smoothly once I understood the instructions. I had to study the instructions for awhile to see how it is installed. I like to know what I am doing and don’t like to waste time so I studied the installation the night before. I also was going to be in 100 degree attack and in a crawl space so the last thing I want to do is read instructions. Once you understand how the pieces go together, it is very easy. I was replacing a 20 year old fan so it was considered a retro-fit by Panasonic. Use the ceiling cutout template since it creates a clean cut in your ceiling. After your brackets are installed, you must first remove the adapter from the fan box (There is one machine screw that connects it, so don't lose it). Hook your wires up and attach exhaust duct to adapter then finally install the adapter to brackets with the flange showing over your ceiling. This is the key to the entire process. The fan box then slides back into adapter. A total of 5 screws hold the entire unit in place. The fan is extremely quiet and powerful. I like the fact that you have two CFM settings and that the unit can be replaced or serviced from the ground floor. Remove plug connector and 3 screws and fan box slides out. Remove the two screws from the adapter and you can service or inspect the duct and your wiring connections if you need to.

                      Installed over 5 of the Panasonic fans and they are the best! SUPER Quiet with good fan power. Definitely recommend the models with the EZ Bracket install feature. Measure your cavity space before you buy, the fan enclosure is rather large which is usually fine in an attic but between floors could be tight.

                          Replaced two previous bathroom fans of same rating CFM including homewerks bluetooth fan. Both fans were useless in a small bathroom even though the ratings exceeded the CFM for the space. This panasonic is a beast. Was a little tricky to install compare to the other two. I did had to make a bigger hole which I knew about because I couldn't find an exact match for current hole. This fan sucks air and it's very quiet. It also has a beefier cover grill. There is barely any fogging of the mirror after a 30 minute shower with hot water. Thumbs up to Panasonic.
