Xpelair Kitchen Fan

Aug 04, 2010 6 Replies

I am having a new double glazed kitchen window fitted.



The company will fit a fan which I supply - it will not be connected up to electricity supply.



I am thinking of an Xpelair GX6 Axial.



Does anyone have any feedback on such a device.



The other point is :



Would it be acceptable to not have it permanently wired in - but to have it plugged in to a 13Amp socket which is adjacent.



I would obviously fasten cable back to wall and make neat job of it.

A clock connector is neater . You can then fit a switch in a suitable position.

There's no problem at all. That's what I did in fact, just fitted it with a plug. I skipped the "neat" bit though. However there's no mention of fitting it with a plug in the leaflet that came with it for some reason. But then all it is after all, is just another appliance at the end of a lead. To use the technical term.

Yes agree - BUT won't that need part P certifying or whatever correct terminology is.

Is the fan a pull cord operated type? If not then just stick a plug on it.

We put a wall mounted version in about a year ago and it's been fine. and reasonably quiet. Build quality seems OK too.
