OK to combine neutrals in a fixture?

Hi,

I'm installing a vent/heater/night light/light combination. In its
junction box, it has four hots and four neutral wires. Is it OK to
splice the neutrals together at the fixture's own junction box? (If
yes, then how come they give you four?)

Depends on what you're splicing them to...it would be possible to power
various parts from differing circuits in which case they shouldn't be
joined except to the proper neutral.

Exactly. if the light is on a different circuit from the fan/heater,
for example, you'd want the light functions connected to the neutral
of the lighting circuit and the fan/heater conneted likewise.

--Also, in a unit like that, typically they are feeding individual outlets
of various types, and each outlet is going to have individual wires
attached to it
