Surface mounting fans on the ceiling
When surface mounting the iCON 30 and iCON 60, the mount-
ing skirt provided should be used. The mounting skirt should
be fixed, with the screws provided, into the support. The fan is
then fitted into the skirt.
The
iCON 30
requires a 110mm diameter hole through the
ceiling.
The
iCON 60
requires a 160mm diameter hole through the
ceiling.
Where flexible duct is used the diameter must be maintained.
Condensation
To avoid the backflow of condensation into the fan
in ceiling
installations
it is good practice to fit a condensation trap
to the vertical outlet duct of the fan. With
thru-the-wall instal-
lation
fit the duct in an approx. 5° angle down to outside.
Measurements and commissioning
The Building Regulations 2010, Statutory Instrument Part 9,
§42, imposes a requirement that testing and reporting of me-
chanical ventilation performance (see Approved Document F1)
is conducted in accordance with an approved procedure.
Compliance with this requirement by an assessed and regis-
tered ‘Competent Person’ should follow a ‘Best Practise’ pro-
cess and adopt air flow measurement, Method A - The Uncon-
ditional Method - using a suitable UKAS certified measuring
instrument. Generically referred to as ‘Zero Pressure Air Flow
Meter’ or ‘Powered Flow Meter’.
Further information on this method is detailed in NHBC Build-
ing Regulations Guidance Note G272a 10/13 and BSRIA
Guide document BG 64/2016.
Installation with flexible ducting
Where flexible ducting is used the diameter must be main-
tained and it is good ventilation practice that the ducting is
extended to a minimum of 90% its possible length in order to
maintain the best possible air flow.
Ensure that flexible duct connections are not over tightened to
the spigots.
To maximise the air flow rigid ducting should be used where
possible. The fan and ducting should be installed in accord-
ance with the requirements of the Domestic Ventilation Com-
pliance Guide, part of the Building Regulations.
SAFETY FIRST: ALWAYS ISOLATE THE FAN UNIT FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE DOING ANY WORK ON
THE FAN/MODULE.
When installed according to these instructions the iCON range
is completely safe. The materials used do not constitute a
hazard.
Cleaning
Fan and ducting should be inspected and cleaned on a
regular basis to keep fan performance.
The external hous-
ing of the fan can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use
household cleaners containing abrasives. Cleaning of the
internal parts such as the impeller should be carried out by
using a soft brush. Never clean any parts of the fan assembly
by immersing in water or using a dishwasher.

Fitting in the ceiling
Page 9 of 16
When recessing or surface mounting fans in the ceiling, a
plywood support (min. 18mm thick) should be mounted be-
tween the ceiling joists. Any fixing screws should be fitted
through the plaster board into the support.
Important
Fans should not be fitted to unsupported plaster board.
Recessing fans in the ceiling
The fan should be fitted in the hole, fixed with the screws
provided into the support.
The
iCON 15
requires a 110mm diameter hole through the
ceiling.
The
iCON 30
requires a 160mm diameter hole through the
ceiling.
The
iCON 60
requires a 190mm diameter hole through the
ceiling.
Where flexible duct is used the diameter must be maintained.
