Broan-nutone P82W Humidity Control Switch

Product Description

The Broan-Nutone LLC P82W is a humidity sensing control switch designed to automate ventilation fans in residential and light commercial settings. It detects rising moisture levels and triggers the connected fan, helping to manage indoor air quality and prevent moisture-related damage. The P82W features a white finish and offers adjustable sensitivity settings along with humidity set point and timer options, giving installers the ability to fine-tune response behavior for each application. It is intended for installation by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians working on exhaust fan circuits.

The P82W is suited for residential bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and similar spaces where humidity spikes occur regularly. Its sensing mechanism responds to humidity increases significantly faster than standard controls, reducing lag time between moisture events and fan activation. The adjustable set point and timer options allow the unit to be configured for varying ventilation demands across different room sizes and occupancy patterns. Installers can calibrate sensitivity on-site without additional tools, making commissioning straightforward.

Key Features

• Humidity sensing control with faster response to rising moisture levels
• Adjustable sensitivity setting for site-specific calibration
• Configurable humidity set point for precise trigger threshold control
• Integrated timer option to extend fan run time after humidity drops
• White finish for standard residential wall plate compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation humidity control switch for residential exhaust fan systems in bathroom, laundry, and kitchen ventilation applications.
