bathroom extractor fan has packed in
when you buy one is it:
logically the actual fan dia?
or stupidly but possibly the case size?
that is used to size them
thanks
Measure across the round bit.
It'll be either 4, 5 or 6 inches or just under.
Probably a 100mm fan. Only PITA you might have is finding the connections in a different place.
4"/100mm it is then
- thanks oldgit had a quick peak and there is some spare loop of cable tucked back into the side of the vent hole so "shouldn't" be a problem this time round
As it's a wired unit in a bathroom, be sure to get the newly installed fan inspected by a certified inspector.
TLC are good for this sort of thing...

If you've got the cash then a humidity triggered fan is less annoying than a dumb light activated or PIR jobbie.
Although since you're not changing any wiring, they'll never know.

I agree, but make sure you remove any date markings on the device. Those loss adjusters would be delighted to find an "out", no matter how irrelevant the issue is.
Spongebob - i thought if you replaced any item on a circuit like for like then inspection isn't required?
appreciate the regs were changed to stop dangerous stuff but in past i've wired a house and am happy with my competence a 5 minute job to install
Sure these partP debates are part troll. Replacement of an accessory like an extractor fan is non-notifiable wherever it is.
