Multi-family buildings often use mirrored floor plans, and the FIT 80E was made for that layout. The mirrored design means you can specify one ventilator family for apartments with flipped layouts on either side of a shared wall. Your submittals and installation details then stay the same across the whole building.

The FIT 80E transfers heat and moisture between outgoing stale air and incoming fresh air. That keeps fresh air coming in while putting less load on your heating and cooling system. You choose plug-in or hardwired power, and both are offered with or without a mechanical shut-off damper.

Key Features and Benefits of the Fantech FIT 80E Low Profile Mirrored ERV

  • Variable Airflow: Electronic controls set the variable-speed fan anywhere from 36 to 78 CFM, so you can match fresh-air delivery to how many people live in the space.
  • Low-Profile Cabinet: Measures 20.63 x 21.63 x 10.17-Inches (L x W x H) or 20.63 x 21.88 x 10.17-Inches (L x W x H) by configuration, fitting above drop ceilings.
  • Frost Prevention: Frost prevention turns on automatically when outdoor temperatures drop below 14 degrees F, which keeps the core from freezing and lets ventilation continue through winter.
  • Flexible Mounting: You can mount the 29- to 30-pound ventilator on a ceiling or wall, and its side ports take 4-inch ducts in tight mechanical spaces.
  • Washable Filters: Includes 2 washable, UL900-certified electrostatic filters that you rinse and reuse, and the internal components are easy to reach for routine service.
  • Insulated Steel Casing: The galvanized steel cabinet is insulated with high-density expanded polystyrene, which helps keep operation quiet and limits heat loss through the casing.
  • Power Draw: The ventilator draws 52 watts and 0.6 amps at 110-120 volts, so you can check its load against your circuit before wiring.
  • CSA and HVI: CSA and HVI certifications give you independently verified safety and performance ratings for code review and ventilation design.
  • Warranty Coverage: Fantech backs the motor for 7 years and covers parts and core for 5 years, which protects your installation long term.

Choose Your Power and Damper Configuration

The FIT 80E comes in Plug, Hardwired, Shut-Off Damper Hardwired, and Shut-Off Damper Cordless configurations, which differ by power connection and by whether a mechanical damper is built in.

  • Plug (FIT 80E-M): The FIT 80E-M is a plug-in model without a damper, so you can power it from a nearby outlet and skip a dedicated wiring run.
  • Hardwired (FIT 80E-M-HC): The FIT 80E-M-HC connects directly to your electrical supply with no cord or damper, a clean fit where your ceiling layout or local practice calls for permanent wiring.
  • w/ Shut-Off Damper, Hardwired (FIT 80E-D-M-HC): The FIT 80E-D-M-HC is hardwired and includes a mechanical shut-off damper that blocks outside air from entering the ventilator when it is switched off.
  • w/ Shut-Off Damper, Cordless (FIT 80E-D-M): The FIT 80E-D-M is the cordless model with a mechanical shut-off damper, so outside air stays out whenever the ventilator is switched off.

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you're a builder or property manager fitting out apartments with mirrored layouts, the FIT 80E lets you standardize on one ventilator for both sides of the hallway. It suits tight spaces such as the cavity above a drop ceiling, where its 10.17-inch height matters. Choose a damper model when you want outside air blocked whenever the ventilator is off. Plug versus hardwired simply follows how your electrician roughs in power, and the frost protection keeps fresh air coming in during cold weather.
