Installing a fan in a CeilingInstalling a fan in a Ceiling
First check that there are no joists, pipes or cables above the area where the fan will be located. Ducting must be used when steam and or condensation are likely to occur,unless venting directly to the outside.

If installing in a position where condensation is likely to run back towards the fan you will need to install a Condensation Trap (XCT100).

If installing in an unheated roof void, ducting should be insulated to minimise condensation forming. Work out the route the ducting will take and total length required. Xpelair recommend keeping the length of ducting to a minimum and avoiding sharp bends as this may affect performance. You will need an outer grille to match the ducting diameter.

It is advisable to have the hole pre-cut by a professional glazier.

Note: Your glass supplier will provide you with advice concerning the weight and type of glass necessary for your specification, essential where fans are to be installed in a roof light.
 




Rooms with Double Glazing
The GX and DX100/LV100 models may be installed in a hermetically sealed double glazing system, if a special sealed unit (with the correct sized hole pre-cut) is obtained from the double glazing manufacturer. DX100/LV100 models will also require a Double Glazing Kit, DXDG. For installing the GX models into secondary glazing and casement windows use the Double Glazing Kit, GXDW.
