Fantech FR Series Galvanized Flange Ring
Fantech's FR Series uses galvanized steel to deliver enhanced corrosion protection and a longer service life, making it a market-leading selection for light commercial and demanding residential installs. It commands a modest price premium over basic steel rings like the Broan-NuTone FMR6 but offers better longevity in moist or industrial environments, while remaining more economical than some specialty European metal rings from brands such as Soler & Palau.
