The iLIVING ILG8SF24V-T is an indoor wall exhaust fan with automatic shutters, a thermostat, and a product-page airflow rating of 4,200 CFM.
What works
- Manufacturer lists 4,200 CFM
- Automatic louvers and a built-in thermostat
What doesn't
- Product-page and family-manual ratings differ; confirm the supplied unit
- A separate replacement-air opening is required
Who it's for
Good fit
- Commercial spaces with a planned wall exhaust and replacement-air path
- Installations where automatic shutters and thermostat control are useful
Look elsewhere if
- Outdoor or rain-exposed mounting
- Hazardous-material or explosive-vapor exhaust
Start with the air path
This fan belongs in an exhaust plan, with room air leaving through the wall and replacement air entering elsewhere. The manufacturer manual calls for an intake opening on the opposite side, qualified installation, and at least 8.2 feet from the floor to the lowest moving parts. It labels the fan for commercial or industrial use. Check those requirements before treating it as a simple residential garage purchase.
Use the CFM calculator to explore volume and a chosen air-change target. The resulting number is a required delivered flow; a product's catalog CFM does not prove that flow will be achieved through your wall, shutters, or other restrictions.
Why some listed specifications disagree
iLIVING's exact-model page gives 4,200 CFM, two speeds, 120 volts, and 3 amps. Its linked family manual instead lists 4,244 CFM, 115 volts, and 2.65 amps; the operating section also uses generic high/medium/low instructions. We preserve the source distinction instead of merging these into an invented configuration. Confirm the model revision and nameplate with the supplier.
The product-page thermostat range is 32–130°F. That is the control's setting range, not a promise that the fan can bring a room to any selected temperature. A published noise or wattage figure was not available on the product page we checked.
Compare the installation before choosing the size
The manual's 27-inch square frame and suggested 25-inch square wall opening are different measurements. Shutter travel, motor depth, and mounting access also need room; a single shallow depth from a listing is insufficient for planning. Review the dimensional drawing with the installer.
Compare other exhaust fans for a suitable format and documented operating point. For movable air directed at a workbench, start with floor fans. This assessment is based on documentation, without hands-on testing.
Verdict
Consider this model for a properly designed indoor wall exhaust installation. Its shutters and thermostat address operation; they do not establish delivered airflow or eliminate the need for replacement air.
Questions people ask
- Is the ILG8SF24V-T outdoor-rated?
- No. The linked manual specifies indoor use, protection from water and rain, and discharge to the building exterior. Outdoor discharge does not make the motor suitable for outdoor exposure.
- Which CFM figure should I use: 4,200 or 4,244?
- The product page lists 4,200 CFM; the family manual lists 4,244 for this model. This page labels the 4,200 figure by its source. Confirm the current unit's documentation and the required installed airflow before selecting equipment.

Put 4,200 CFM in context
The iLIVING ILG8SF24V-T 24-Inch Shutter Exhaust Fan has a listed airflow of 4,200 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 | 106× | 34 s |
| Two-car garage | 22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³ | 64× | 57 s |
| Workshop | 40 × 30 × 12 ft · 14,400 ft³ | 18× | 3.4 min |
| Warehouse bay | 100 × 50 × 16 ft · 80,000 ft³ | 3.2× | 19 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.
