The advantages of this fitment is that it removes the steam immediately from the room and moves it outside the building. This stops the problem of steam wetting everything within a reasonable distance of the shower and the invariable problem of half the windows inside property steaming up. It can be even possible to use a bathroom mirror after the shower has been used.
This 12 v extractor fan may be fitted into the ceiling or the wall in the bathroom either in the shower or next to the bath and will extract some 85 cubic metres of air each hour and can be fitted to a 4" ducting which will take the air and steam to your outside exit. The units are created in white thermo plastics and can fit well into the d?? cor and tiling of any bath room. The complete size is only 156mm x a56mm and stand 28mm off the beaten track. • By the humidity switch which can turn the fan with when humidity reaches a particular level
• Whether you want an overrun timer which keeps the fan turned on to get a set period once you have, for example, turned the lights off.
• Whether you will want boost, or trickle function that can change the speed fo that fan on demand.
If you have decided to switch the fan using a light switch, pull cord or other remote switch you will require standard two core and earth cable, known inside trade as twin and earth. (6242y flat electrical power cable)
If you have opted for either a fan with boost or even trickle, or a timer version you need the less common, nevertheless readily available, three center and earth. (6243y toned power cable). This is due to the fan will now require both a 'switch live' give and 'permanent live' feed.
OK, so you have decided where the fan is to sit and where it is to be switched from. This means you now know the location where the mains power cable will and from. Your electrician will now be able to feed the correct cable from your consumer unit (fuseboard) for a switching point and/or require a feed from this move or your lighting circuit to the fan. Whilst this is a job, depending on your level of skill you could do yourself, most electricians would ought to do all the work in connection with an install. This is because even seemingly simple careers can a) be executed incorrectly which often can b) have deadly consequences. I have seen countless types of damaged cable which has been accidentally and unknowingly nailed on the wall under some capping in a cord channel. If the nail is contact with the live copper conductor in the cable insulation you now take over a live nail just willing to send 240v into your fingers of anyone who touches it.
There's however, a simple, if messy job, which can be carried out in preparation for that electrician's arrival. Providing you have a 'core cutter' you tend to make ready the ducting pit. In an average sized bathroom a 100mm extractor supporter will be installed and that means you need to cut a 100mm or four inch hole. Larger bathrooms and a lot of kitchens use six inch fans, however.
