The Manrose Shower Fan is designed exclusively for safe ventilation 
within a shower cubicle. This fan is a high performance axial model with 
high static pressure which enables additional ducting to be added to this 
system, while still maintaining high levels of extraction.

Thank you for selecting our Manrose 150mm In-Line Fan Kit.  
Please read all instructions before commencing installation.

1.  First select the grille you prefer in your room.  There are two designs a circular ceiling 

grille which we recommend as the interior grille, and a fixed lourve design which is 
suitable for the exterior.  

2.   The interior grille comes in two parts, the chassis (or spigot) and the circular fascia.   If 

using fixing clips cut a 165mm hole in the ceiling ensuring first that the area above is 
free from obstruction.  Alternatively cut a 155mm hole.  

3.  Fit 2 fixing clips supplied to the grill chassis then push the chassis (or spigot) section 

into the hole in the ceiling.  Alternatively mark the position of the fixing holes on the 
ceiling, drill the holes and screw the grille chassis to the ceiling.  Then refit the fascia to 
the chassis by aligning the locking tabs and twisting clockwise to secure.

4.  Select a suitable place for the Fan to be screwed to a joist and secure using two screws 

through the fixing bracket.  The fan motor is of ball bearing design to prolong the life of 
the motor.

5.  Select a suitable position either in the soffit or on an outside wall for the other grille 

(fixed lourve),  Carefully remove the grille insert from its housing by levering gently 
at the sides with a small screwdriver.  Cut a 160mm hole ensuring first that the area 
above is free from obstruction.

6.  Attach one end of the flexible duct to the spigot with the duct tape provided and from 

the outside feed the duct through the hole until the grille is flush with the soffit/wall.  
Mark the position of the fixing holes on the soffit/wall. Drill the holes and screw the 
grille to the soffit/wall then refit the grille to the chassis.

 

Note: It is best not to cut the flexible duct until the grille has been screwed to the 

outside surface to avoid the possibility of cutting the duct too short.

7.  Pull the flexible duct gently to the discharge spigot of the fan and cut it to length and 

connect to the fan with duct tape provided.

 

Note: The discharge end of the Fan unit is the end where you can see the fan 

blade clearly. There is also an arrow on the unit showing airflow direction.

8.  Connect the remaining piece of duct to the ceiling grille and onto the fan using the 

duct tape provided.  

Note: Make sure wherever possible to keep the duct running in a 

straight line as this will improve the performance of the fan.
