Will a 4“, 100CFM bathroom exhaust fan work with 3” exhaust duct

exhaust

The bathroom is 112x80x96, the duct to outside will be 3-4' at max
This is a 100CFM 25W, 4" fan

The only reason why I want to buy this one is because it has humidity sensor and timer for under 90CAD…
I could use an adapter installed near the opening in the wall since the ceiling is open but not sure if that will diminish the side effects of the diameter mismatch between fan and duct

I wouldn't like to increase that opening in the wall

Best Answer

Yes it will. There are many different types of 4" to 3" reducers that will work with your fan. You will have to match one to the material of your vent and the duct. Below is a picture of one sold by Lowes.
