•Suitably rated 3 core cable (supply to transformer LV100T only.
•3mm Electricians Screwdriver and No.1 or 2 Pozidriv screwdrivers.
•To prevent a possible hazardous situation from water ingress, a condensation trap (Xpelair No. XCT100) must be fitted as close as possible to the fan in all situations where any section of the ductwork is positioned higher than the fan itself.
If wall mounting the fan, you will also need
•Masonry drill, Hammer & Chisel (or Core Drill equipment if available).
•Mortar to make good the hole if required.
If window mounting the fan
•You will need a window pane between 3mm and 6mm thick (preferably 4mm).
•Do not install in glass 3mm thick if the window pane area is more than 0.2 sq.m.
•If installing in sealed double glazing, a specially manufactured unit should be obtained from the glazing manufacturer. You will also require a special kit, Xpelair Cat. ref. DXDG.
•If installing in sash windows, you should mount the fan in the upper window. Secure the upper sash in the closed position and fit stops just below the level of the fan, to prevent damaging it when the sash is raised.
