INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CLASSIC IN-LINE CENTRIFUGAL FANS
Thank you for selecting our Manrose Centrifugal 100mm In-Line Fan Kit.
Please read all instructions before commencing installation.
1. First select the grille you prefer in your room. There are two designs a circular
ceiling grille which we recommend as the interior grille, and a fixed lourve design
which is suitable for the exterior.
2. The interior grille comes in two parts, the chassis (or spigot) and the circular
fascia. If using fixing clips cut a 115mm hole in the ceiling ensuring first that the
area above is free from obstruction. Alternatively cut a 105mm hole.
3. Fit 2 fixing clips supplied to the grill chassis then push chassis (or spigot) section
into the hole in the ceiling. Alternatively mark the position of the fixing holes on
the ceiling. Drill the holes and screw the grille chassis to the ceiling then refit the
fascia to the chassis by aligning the locking tabs and twisting clockwise to secure.
4. Select a suitable place for the Fan to be screwed to a joist and secure using
two screws through the fixing bracket. The fan motor is of ball bearing design to
prolong the life of the motor.
5. Select a suitable position either in the soffit or on an outside wall for the other
grille (fixed lourve), carefully remove the grille insert from its housing by levering
gently at the sides with a small screwdriver. Cut a 110mm hole ensuring first that
the area above is free from obstruction.
6. Attach one end of the flexible duct to the spigot with the duct tape provided and
from the outside feed the duct through the hole until the grille chassis is flush with
the soffit/wall. Mark the position of the fixing holes on the soffit/wall. Drill the holes
and screw the grille chassis to the soffit/wall then refit the grille to the chassis.
Note: It is best not to cut the flexible duct until the grille has been screwed to the
outside surface to avoid the possibility of cutting the duct too short.
7. Pull the flexible duct gently to the discharge spigot of the fan and cut it to length
and connect to the fan with duct tape provided.
Note: The discharge end of the Fan unit is the end where you can see the back
draught shutter. There is also an arrow on the unit showing airflow direction.
8. Connect the remaining piece of duct to the ceiling grille and onto the fan using the
duct tape provided.
Note: Make sure wherever possible to keep the duct running in a straight line as
this will improve the performance of the fan.
