The iLIVING ILG8SF12V is a 12-inch wall shutter exhaust fan whose current product page lists variable speed, 960 CFM, 65 watts, and 115 volts.
What works
- Current product page lists 960 CFM, 65 watts, and 0.6 amps
- Family manual provides a 15-inch frame and suggested 13-inch wall opening
What doesn't
- Current page and linked family manual disagree on CFM and RPM
- Controller is a separate compatibility decision
Who it's for
Good fit
- Wall exhaust with a planned replacement-air path
- Installations that need variable-speed-compatible equipment
Look elsewhere if
- Buyers who need one reconciled CFM and RPM rating before ordering
- Installations that depend on an explicit outdoor-use designation
Resolve the documentation conflict before buying
The current ILG8SF12V product page lists a 12-inch variable-speed wall shutter fan with 960 CFM, 65 watts, 0.6 amps, 115 volts, and 1,650 RPM. Its linked family manual identifies ILG8SF12V but lists 772 CFM at zero static pressure and 1,625 RPM. The page does not state the rating basis for its 960-CFM figure, so these source values cannot be reconciled from the reviewed documents. This record retains the current exact-model page values and flags the discrepancy rather than averaging or combining them.
The family manual gives a 15-by-15-inch frame, 5.75-inch depth, and a suggested 13-inch wall opening for ILG8SF12V. It also identifies a 115V, 60Hz power source. Those installation details and the planned replacement-air path matter more than treating its nominal blade size as a rough-opening plan.
An exhaust component with unresolved location documentation
The product page and linked manual do not provide a single explicit outdoor-use designation that supports a catalog boolean. Its thermally protected enclosed motor and weather-resistant shutter description do not establish an installation rating. The documents also distinguish the variable-speed-compatible fan from the controller: verify the correct controller and the exact unit documentation before ordering accessories.
Compare industrial exhaust fans by their documented opening, controls, and installed-airflow data. The CFM calculator can examine a user-chosen room-flow assumption, but it cannot resolve this source conflict or prove delivered flow through a shutter and wall. We have not tested this fan, measured noise, or verified the supplied revision.
Verdict
Use the ILG8SF12V only after confirming the supplied revision and a complete exhaust path. Its current page supports 960 CFM, while the linked family manual gives a different model-table value.
Questions people ask
- Which ILG8SF12V airflow figure is current?
- The current exact-model page lists 960 CFM. Its linked family manual lists 772 CFM at zero static pressure, so confirm the supplied unit and do not blend the two figures.
- Can it be installed outdoors?
- The reviewed product page and linked manual do not provide an explicit outdoor-use designation for this model. Confirm current installation instructions with iLIVING for the planned exposure.

Location requirements
Does the site require an environmental rating or guard? Neither is listed here.
Put 960 CFM in context
The iLiving New Upgraded 12" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan has a listed airflow of 960 cubic feet per minute. The table compares this rated volume with example room volumes. It does not measure fresh-air exchange, air speed at your body, or room coverage.
| Room | Size | Nominal room volumes / hour | Nominal pass interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-car garage | 22 × 12 × 9 ft · 2,376 ft³ | 24× | 2.5 min |
| Two-car garage | 22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³ | 15× | 4.1 min |
| Workshop | 40 × 30 × 12 ft · 14,400 ft³ | 4× | 15 min |
| Warehouse bay | 100 × 50 × 16 ft · 80,000 ft³ | 0.7× | 83 min |
A circulation fan does not by itself replace indoor air. Exhaust airflow depends on a makeup-air path and system resistance. Use installed outdoor airflow for ventilation calculations.
Formula: airflow × 60 ÷ room volume. CDC explains the ventilation form of this equation; here the input is a catalog rating, so the result is a volume comparison.
