Shower Zone and fan

[Jeremy Hale]

Job is to replace this extractor fan as in attached photograph, would you say its in zone 1 or 2, i.e. could I replace with mains or would selv be needed not sure if I can get above ceiling to fit transformer.

I have fitted these mains fans which are suitable for zone 1 but I think it is only the standard non timer one which is suitable.

230V fan is OK in zone 1 as long as it's IP44. or bettewr.

And manufacturers instructions followed...
I had similar situation and Vent Axia tech said no. Answer: fitted the Manrose!

In the case of this particular unit with the positioning and height in relation to the shower I'd be looking at a 12 volt fan, although if that's a flat roof or very low pitch fitting the transformer unit could be a bit challenging.

fit a IP44 230V fan end of.
