help finding short spigot (20mm) extractor fan replacement

Hi,

My extractor fan failed and I cannot find a replacement which fit.

The failed one is a Manrose XF100MHT, and the spigot is 20mm deep, only.

This is mounted on the ceiling and the spigot cannot be any longer because of the immediate bend.

The only other short one I could find is this https://www.manrose.co.uk/product/xf100tss-bathroom-fan-timer-short-spigot-100mm/ but it does not have a humidity sensor though (unlike the old one).

Can anyone help identify a suitable alternative, please?

Kind regards,
Andrea

 

Hi Dave,

Seeing that there does not seem to be an alternative, I'll have to cut the spigot, yes.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that straightforward either as, sometimes, part of the fan/motor is right inside of the spigot.
The problem is that you don't know it until you open the fan.

For example when I was first dealing with replacing the fan I bought this Envirovent 100 HT (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E7UXIVM/) but had to return it for the reason explained above.

This morning I went to a toolstation point, the shop assistant opened the two fans he had in stock and they had the same problem.

He suggested I try bigger shops (eg B&Q and/or Wickes) where I can take a look at a wider range of fans.

Thanks for your input Dave!
