About this product
The Manrose MF100T 100mm Inline Bathroom Extractor Fan offers a powerful solution for removing moisture and unpleasant odours from your bathroom or other enclosed space. This robust extractor fan is designed to deliver high airflow and quiet operation, making it suitable for both new installations and replacing existing fans. Its inline design allows for flexible mounting away from the room, particularly useful where space is limited.
This mixed-flow extractor fan boasts a significant extract rate of 68 litres per second – equivalent to 245 cubic metres per hour – thanks to its high-performance motor featuring long-life ball bearings warranted for a minimum of 3 years. It operates at just 25 watts and produces an output of 25db(a) @ 3m, minimising noise disturbance while effectively exhausting air. Featuring three speed settings selectable via internal dip switch, you can adjust the airflow to suit your needs.
Installation is straightforward, with a robust construction designed for ease of maintenance. The fan assembly can be quickly removed from rigid ducting installations and is fully building code compliant, having been approved by BEAB and CE. It’s built to last with double insulation providing safety and reliability. The integrated run-on timer ensures continued extraction even after you’ve switched off the light, offering added convenience.
Consider that this fan requires a reasonable length of ducting run space compared to simpler wall or ceiling fans, but its performance and features make it an excellent choice for those seeking a powerful and reliable solution for bathroom ventilation. The tubular design with three plastic blades provides a clean industrial aesthetic.
