Thank you for selecting one of our Pro Series mixed flow in-line fan kits.
Please read all instructions before commencing installation.
1. The interior grille comes in two parts, the chassis (or spigot) and the fascia.
The best way to extract steam from the bathrooom is to locate the grill in the
ceiling centred above the shower/bath area. For general bathroom extraction
the grill can be installed centred in the room. Cut hole in ceiling for grill
(See Fig 1. for hole sizing).
If using the gib fixing clip option the white fastening wedge-type clips must be
fitted onto the grille body – the closed end of the ‘V’ points towards the rear of
the grille. Start the screw through the flange on the grille into the screw-hole in
the clip with two or three turns. If the ceiling or wall lining is thicker than standard
12mm board it may be necessary to use longer screws than those supplied.
When fitted, fasten the ducting onto the grilles using the tape supplied.
Push the grille fully into the hole and then use a screwdriver to push the clips
up into the hole. Once through the hole the clips will spring open and can then be
tightened with the screw to pull back down onto the rear side of the
gib. Tighten until firm only, do not over-tighten.
Fit the fascia onto the chassis. Note there are two lugs on the rear rim of the
egg-crate insert which locate into corresponding slots in the black housing,
adjacent to the ends of the bridge-piece in the housing. This ensures the egg-
crate pattern is lined up with the bridge-piece correctly.
2. Select a suitable place for the fan to be installed in the ceiling cavity centrally in
the ducted system. It is recommended to suspend your MixFlo fan from the
ceiling framing with strapping (DCT2299) or fan mounting brackets (FAN0015)
to minimise sound levels resonating through ceiling framing (Fig. 6).
3. For the exterior grille there are two options, either a weatherproof cowl or a
fixed grille. Select a suitable position either in the soffit or on an outside wall for
your chosen grille. Carefully remove the grille insert/cowl from its housing by
levering gently at the sides with a small screwdriver. Cut hole as per Fig. 1.

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.
• Excessive ducting and sharp bends lower the fans performance.
Before cutting, assure ducting is long enough with gradual bends.
