Decent bathroom fan, please gents

[Apache]

Evening my learned friends.

Our bathroom extractor fan has broken. There is an existing 100mm duct ~400mm straight to the outside wall. I have a 3C&E and need an overrun. It is currently mains voltage, but I would like SELV as it's in zone 2 over the bath. Final requirement must be available mail order as I live miles from anywhere.

What would you suggest as a decent fan?

Thanks for your time

Hi,

Bathroom fans IP44 are ok in zone 2 provided they are on an RCD. If you go the SELV route you won't need [although you canyuse] the 3 core but

you have to rejig the wiring for the transformer. In terms of make the one i really like but is expensive is the on with the 3 blade shutter opening. Trouble is can't remember the name of it. Someone will be along to fill in the missing name but they are around 40 squids in the mains version.

Xpelaire?

Xpelair DX100T Extractor Fan with Timer

Are they good, then?

Are people happy with mains fan if RCD protected in zone 2?

 

[Sidewinder]

IMHO yes Xpelaire are good kit.

Xpelair are one of the better known ones, Marley do one thats IP44. You could have a look at the wholesalers own brands.

Looks nice but you'd see the screw holes from the old one at the corners! Has to be square. I'm leaning to a Vent Axia one over on Screwfix

Those round Icon ones with the 3 shutters do look nice though!

Try neweysonline too.

That's very generous, but I need a few other bits from Screwfix. Think I'll order the one I linked, seems to have decent extraction level.

Good choice id say apache axial is fine as you are only ducting through wall.

You could save the world with this one if you choose for a few more pounds.

Would agree with Wozz`s comment on the carbon-reduced stuff (though I`m yet to be convinced on this, as we`ve previously discussed).....

Where I can, I try to use in-line duct fans; then I chuck either of these in (both delivered from TLC)

4 Inch In Line Duct Extractor Fan - 160m3/hr - SILENT for a reasonable extraction; or

4 Inch In Line Duct Extractor Fan - 250m3/hr for the mutts danglies

n.b. the "icon" range are good at doing what they say on the box; and looking good whilst doing it

(bit like a high-class cathouse vs a fleapit, IYKWIM????)

Mate, I can afford to buy one. Sell it to a punter and get your new drill bought!

I really do appreciate the offer, honestly.
