extractor fan

Hi everyone! I’m replacing a broken extractor fan. It has three wires - T, N and L I understand this is because the old fan had a timer. My new fan only has N and L as it doesn’t have a timer. Do I need to: A) Put the mains N to the fan N and mains L to fan L, THEN put the mains T wire in...

Hi all My en suite (right of picture) is completely ‘internal’ - there’s no exterior walls. It’s right in the middle of my flat, and has zero ventilation. It’s a period conversion, I’m on the ground floor and there’s 2 flats above me, so venting ‘upwards’ isn’t an option. The closest...

Hi all, the inline extractor fan in my shower recently gave up and I have now removed it and I strongly suspect it was installed when the house was built ~30yrs ago. Any thoughts on a suitable one-for-one replacement? Lablel picture attached and it is on the same switch as the shower light...

Hi My cooker extractor motor has started either making a screeching noise on start up or humming and not running , both go away and it starts working normally after about a minute. I've took the motor off as I wasn't sure if there was a capacitor on it that was failing or if it was getting...

We get a terrible draught through our kitchen extractor which vents outdoors. We have tried various back-draught flaps in the duct and hoods on the outside, but to no real avail. In all cases, the wind blowing past the outlet on the wall seems to pull the flaps open and let in a draught at the...

I had a new bathroom fitted about 18 months ago and had a new radiator and extractor fan fitted. The fan is about 150mm above the tall radiator/towel rail. I was never convinced that the bathroom warmed up very well and when my wife voiced the same opinion recently I realised that this was...

Hi all, So I installed a Manrose MF100T Inline Extractor Fan (bought from Amazon) in our main bathroom last year but it's never really done much to help with the condensation literally running down the walls. I've tried playing around with the ducting (swapping from flexi to rigid, 45° bends...

Hello, I've installed a Monsoon Extractor Fan kit today, all is up and running and everything is working with the exception of the LED. When I switch my lights on the other bathroom lights are working fine but the LED supplied with the fan is pulsing like a slow strobe. If you fiddle with the...

Hello. Was wondering if anyone can help. Just had bathroom done and the fitter installed an inline Osily extractor which, quite frankly, is useless! So I've replaced it with a Manrose MF100T which is far better. However, the Osily has a N, L and LT connection. The Manrose has a N, L and LS...

I'm wanting to fit a manrose mf100s extractor fan in a new bathroom but have it activate from a occupancy sensor. I know that manrose make one but at £100 it's a bit too expensive. Would something like this work instead 360° Ceiling Flush Mount PIR Occupancy Switch?

Hi folks, The extractor fan for my en-suite has died, which has surprised me a touch, as the property was a new build when I moved in about three and a half years ago, and it's not had nearly as much use as the extractor fan above the main bathroom. The fan is situated in the loft above the...

Hello again, everyone. It's been a while, but I have my next project that I would appreciate some input, please. Background: - First floor flat, with access to loft space. - Internal shower room with no window, no external walls. - Existing Manrose extractor fan is located in the ceiling above...

Hi all, Have put this here rather than electrics as also looking for general advice on ventilation and reducing condensation, etc. Currently converting a block outbuilding into a utility room to house washer/tumble dryer/chest freezer/garden sink with only cold tap. The shed in its current...

Hi all, I've recently been on a mission to fix all draughts in my house, and I noticed that a lot of cold air comes through the downstairs toilet extractor fan vent, especially on a windy day. The toilet is under the stairs, and the vent itself goes into a pipe the other side of the wall which...

As winter months have hit, our extractor fan has begun splurting out brown liquid. We have put this down to condensation. Unfortunately the duct runs up through the loft, and our loft space is fully insulated with no walking space, so we're not really able to insulate it. Also, it goes up...

Hi, what would be the best way to seal around this ducting? My extractor fan is connected to it and it lets in colde air. Thanks

Currently in the final steps of renovating a late '70s/early '80s Bungalow. The property originally had a warm air heating system powered by a gas boiler which was vented through the loft space via a 125mm flue and out of a vented ridge tile in the roof. The old warm air heating system has been...

Hi guys, Looking to install 2 extractor fans within my bathroom and en-suite. Would it be ok to run both through the same ducting? They are the Xpelair C4TSR's so they have the built in back draft shutters. I was thinking if I give them about a 2m-3m run before joining at the main outlet from...
