Air connection
The regulators for bathroom intakes
Ø

blanking plugs are fitted by pressing them onto the
fan casing and they are interchangeable. It is possible
to identify the two different regulator valves of the
regulators (15 m
3
/h or 30 m
3
/h) by their shape (fig. 4).
The vents for the bathrooms, (
Ø
80) and kitchen
(
Ø
125) must be connected to the air extract
with ducts (use only 30m
3
/h valves in the U.K.).
These ducts must run as straight as possible, with a
a minimum length of 1.5 m of ducts for each extract.
Ensure the pipes are positioned correctly on the
regulators.
Connect the air outlet
