Screwfix - Manrose Fans

[@monsterp1970]

I have the 110m3/hr version, and it's still not enough to keep the mirrors and windows clear in a relatively small bathroom

@@WillowSilverwolf - No problem Elizabeth. Try the Manrose 100T. That's the black one in this video. £50 and a much better designed fan compared with the smaller one's, also has 3 speed levels. I've just fitted one in another property and it's very silent, only a little above background noise. HOWEVER, I've had quite a lot of playing around with the ducting. Yes, insulated is a wise move to reduce the possibility of condensation, but, I've discovered that if it has an aluminium tube inside, then this accentuates the sound of the air, especially when pulled tight! In conclusion, I replaced the aluminium central duct with a PVC duct (just pulled it out of the insulation and fed the PVC one back in). This reduced noise levels in the bathroom by 15db, but also I discovered that ducting can get louder when pulled tight. So, have the ducting straight, but don't worry about pulling the ducting too tightly. It seems that ducting that is a little bunched up in the coils, softens the sound. Perhaps it bounces around more when pulled tight. Airflow didn't seem to change. Hope that helps. :-)

Does the fan assembly fit through the hole? If not, you need to go through the floor above or remove ceiling to fit or replace.

Wish you'd turned them on mate

Great video. A question if I may: is insulated ducting worth the extra cost over the white plastic type in this video? We inherited two bathroom extractor fans in our house and one has an insulated hose and the other does not. I wondered about "upgrading" the non-insualted one but wasn't sure if it would actually make a difference.....or whether it would just be a placebo effect. If it makes any difference, the non insulated one (family bathroom) gets more use than the insulated one (en-suite)...

What more could you want? A back draught preventer?

[@AP-wn8nd]

Which is what i need to buy now.

[@RoyWhitehead-e2b]

How is the bulb removed to replace.

[@karlwale7162]

The flexible ducting for every metre of run there is 3 metres of resistance because of its makeup. If possible use ridged ducting for better flow rate.

Why dont Screwfix stock the 100T version???

[@pickscraper7509]

I didn't use the timer so I put a little loop from SW to L on the fan, if you ring Manrose they'll tell you to do this.

0:46 Not quiet and only had it a few months and now the fan leaks and although its still sucking up water its then leaking back down.

[@satwinderdhariwal]

Thats because you haven’t fitted it with a outwards slope
