Bathroom Extraction Fans

Is there any rules to these? The one I have is rubbish and I have a Meanwell 5A 12V driver and spare Delta 120x38mm FFB1212EHE 190cfm. I could mount this to some 5mm foamx with driver. Only issue is the noise but least it'd vent.

min 15L/second extraction with a 15min over run.

Well what's currently fitted (new build) is rubbish

There's your problem.

You can fit better ones yes, generally though there is limitations to their effectiveness, if you have a small bathroom and like hot showers I'd suggest an open window.

Delta ehe, if you mount this, the torque it generates will crack your wall

They're seriously powerful fans

My bathroom extractor doesn't have an overrun

Ideally you should use a l.v fan in there with a fan isolation switch external to the room and. 4" fan would be am

tut! Ample

Anyone have any links to suggestions. The current ones are pants

The one we have is pitiful too. Alas, no window either.

I have this one, one of the cheapest, http://www.screwfix.com/p/manrose-chrome-ceiling-wall-mounted-20w-extractor-fan-timer/12473

My bathroom is 2x2 meters square and I have hot showers, my extractor is fine

I've just installed a Manrose in line centrifugal fan, shifts 240m3 per hour, which is around 70 litres per second. M100T I think was the model number, 60 quid on Amazon. Has a timer overrun too and is quiet for what it shifts.

£52

Looks like the job.

The ManRose is the daddy. All others are gash. I can't stand the noise of a poxy extractor. Instead, we vented to the loft with the manrose's where basically a small windfarm spins up in ducting. Far more efficient and noiseless. Small grills above each shower = job done.

The place I'm living has a mini en-suite with an extractor with an over run...but no isolation switch. Really enjoying if you need a leak in the middle of the night o_O

Thinking of using the one i linked too, but 1 each bathroom

I hope you mean you vented through the loft?!
