Extractor fan in a cage

[beez]

Hi I'm trying to find a bathroom extractor fan that fits inside a metal cage. It's a centrifugal fan with timer and humidistat. I believe the company that makes them isn't in business anymore. Looking for something similar that could fit. It's approximately 255mm Sq and 150mm deep. Here are some pics..

How many of the 100K hits from Google did you follow up?

I believe the company that makes them isn't in business anymore.

That may be the case, but readers here may have a solution.

It would help by telling us the make and model of the old one.
Also the size of the duct, the photo hasn't got a scale so I cannot tell if its 100mm or 1000mm!

EDIT

Just waded through your album. The other photo (that you havent shown on your post) includes some details that you could have tried on Google yourself.

If you Google RF2C-133/046 then you get a result

Soler and Palau are very much alive, you might try them, if it is the motor that has gone. But you might be better buying a whole new fan.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

Have tried Google but thanks for making me aware of it

The ducting is probably 4". Can't get access above ceiling right now to check. The cage has an envelope shaped hole in the top which the ducting attaches too. Thanks for the link to..

They don't seem to have anything on their .Co. uk site with cages.

What I would like to find is a replacement that can fit in the existing hole without having to make much adjustments to the ceiling. The reason is it's in a block of 80+ flats and 2 have died with many more to follow.

I know what it looks like. Its in your album.

Your best bet is to find a replacement whole unit that will go into the existing hole, You'll never find something to go into the existing "cage" as they are all individual for each maker and model.

SUGGEST you remove the cage and measure the hole. Then start looking at BAS's links (or find some of your own ) and identify something that can fit into the existing aperture. Most decent online sellers include a link to the installation instructions, so it should be easy for you to identify soemthing that will do the job.

I know you know what it looks like. It's was for others to have a look

Looks like I've found something that may fit..

I've ordered it from my suppliers. Hopefully it will fit without too much effort!

Try looking at Papst fans

Often called a snail fan ( due to the shape )
