Fantech exhaust grill

The ceiling grill for the Fantech inline exhaust is a simple piece of plastic with four metal prongs. Disappointing though, is the tight continuous-friction type of attachment. In fact, short of having somebody stand in the attic to push down on the housing while somebody pushes the grill up from below, that residual gap shown is the best closure possible. It's a poor industrial design, unlike the Panasonic exhaust grill and all the recessed light trims that snap into place snugly.

The halogen bulb also twists loosely into the socket, dangling from it, instead of being held by it -- a sign of poor quality control during assembly.

At least it works. And virtually silent. The halogen is for night-light.
Powder room.
