Model identification, sourcing and replacement language
Use the motor or housing nameplate model/MPN as the primary identifier. Match CFM, sones, duct diameter and trim dimensions. For contractor packs, specify pack quantity and whether the item is housing only or includes motor/grill assemblies. Example RFQ phrase: “Provide Air King AKX‑1A contractor pack sealed housings (pack qty 4) compatible with AK80LS‑1 motor/grill assemblies; 4" duct; 80 CFM nominal.” Include ENERGY STAR, fire‑rated trim or humidity‑sensor requirements in the specification where required.
Quick procurement checklist
