Zone 1 Extractor Fan with Shower?

[Happy100]

Hi

I want to see if it is possible to buy a zone 1 extractor fan to go along side a shower mixer tap I wish to install?

The image below is not to scale, but shows the yellow circle as my current 240v extractor fan and the blue shows the new shower/mixer tap I wish to install (if possible)?.

Confirmation of if possible would be great and any suggestions of which one to buy would be even better.

Many thanks

Happy.

Have a look at this page

601-08-01 Needs to be a unit not exceeding 12 volts any safety switches above that voltage need to be outside zones 0, 1 and, 2

Many thanks chivers76

Sorry it wasn't clear on that page which units were 12v, so I have emailed them.

However, with the close position of the fan and shower head, it is likely the fan will be splashed a bit. Would this be a problem even with 12v units?

Cheers

Happy.

There's always going to be a risk that you'll get water jets in the unit with the fan monted there the Silent one below looks to be the best option imho

I know what you mean! If I was you, I would be chivers69. lol

The response came back from tlc and they advised the one suggested wasn't a ipx4, so couldn't really go with that one.
However they have suggested the xpelair sl100 Slimline Extractor Fan +Timer http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/perl/search.pl?search=xpsl which is IPX4 rated, they even gave me manufacturers contact details who confirmed this will do the job.

Though they have advised - "Splashing is fine, but it will not take direct jets".

So looks like this will be the one, just have to be a little careful. Though fan is a bit higher than shower head will be, so we should be ok.

Thanks again for all your help and advise.

Happy.

You'd have to move - dreadful commute from Cambridgeshire to North London.

Product update - I have done a little more investigating and found the xpelair DX100t Extractor Fan with Timer. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/XPDX100T.html

I contacted manufacture again and they have confirmed this would be a better option as it is rated ipx5 as it will protect against low pressure jets of water from all directions - limited ingress permitted.

Without moving the fan to the ceiling, there doesn't seem to be a better option.
