Ventaxia Solo Plus P Extractor Fan

Product Description

If you are working in confined spaces, then installing correct ventilation can reduce the chemical, vapours that result from darkroom work. Try leaving a small window open if possible (without letting light in) or, if your budget allows, install an extractor fan.

Vent-Axia has developed a new range of budget darkroom extractors beginning at under £100.00, which clears over 500 cubic feet of air every 10 minutes.

This Solo Plus range only needs a 100mm (4 inches) diameter bore duct. All models pass current Building Regulations Document requirements ,and with the flush or surface mounted facias have washable built-in filters too.

They use just 29 watts of power and are only 8x10 inches when mounted on the wall.

The Solo Plus P (Pullcord) is flush or surface mountable. Control by Pullcord or from light/remote switch or sensor. 3 Speed. Finished in white, with a 2-position 100mm circular spigot for rear entry or connecting to a vertical ducting system. The powerful centrifugal forward curved impeller allows installations using 100mm ducting in straight runs up to 50m.

Mount into the ceiling as most cables for the lighting system run between the joists of a ceiling floor for wiring the unit into. If you want to mount your Ventaxia unit into a window, you will need a special window mounting kit and a cowl to protect your brickwork if you want to go through to an outside wall.

Although the centrifugal motor mounting makes them more light-tight than competitor models for absolute light tightness we recommend the use of a cowl on the 100mm exit end. This is available from us ,or you can make your own easily in the template of an upturned letterbox.

"This fan was fitted with about 15 feet of duct to an outside wall so was completely light tight. However, it soon developed a very irritating and noisy rattle. This was (I hope) fixed by simply removing the outer clip-on plate, then pushing and pulling the fan's spindle back and forth a few times, then re-fitting the plate. Other than that niggle it's a reasonably good extractor fan. Adrian, Yateley Darkroom"

"I ordered this because it said it doesn’t let light through, but it most definitely does. Other than that, a good fan, very quiet and moves air well. I pinned a flap of lightproof membrane over the exhaust vent to solve the light issue."
