Product Information

Full details

The AirTech-UK Tubo is an ideal ventilation solution for homeowners and installers seeking an efficient, low-profile extractor for bathrooms, wet rooms, and shower enclosures with short ducting runs. This axial in-line fan provides a powerful airflow rate of 100m³ per hour while maintaining quiet operation, making it perfect for retrofitting existing systems. However, users should note that the unit requires a 3-wire electrical connection and is specifically optimized for shorter duct runs, meaning it may not be suitable for long, complex ventilation paths.

FAQs

Can this fan be installed in a shower cubicle zone?

Yes, as an in-line fan installed within the ceiling void, it is ideal for placement near shower areas, provided it is installed in accordance with local electrical safety regulations.

Does it come with ducting?

No, the package includes the fan unit and mounting hardware. You will need to purchase 100mm ducting separately.

Can I use this for a long duct run?

The Tubo is designed specifically for short duct runs. Performance will drop significantly if the ducting is too long or has too many bends.

What is the benefit of the 3-wire connection?

The 3-wire system allows the fan to have a permanent live connection, which is required to power the adjustable overrun timer after the room light is turned off.

Is the mounting foot removable?

Yes, the mounting foot is detachable, allowing you to mount the unit directly onto a surface or secure it into existing ductwork.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not turn on when switched

Verify that all three wires (permanent live, switched live, neutral) are connected correctly according to the wiring diagram.

Fan runs for too short or too long after the light is switched off

Adjust the internal timer dial to increase or decrease the duration between 5 and 20 minutes.

Excessive noise or vibration during operation

Ensure the mounting foot is securely fastened and that the fan is not touching structural elements that could amplify vibrations.
