About this kit
This small 1-1 room kit is suitable for 1-1 room installation which requires 6m of ducting or less. The reason being the fan included in this kit is a basic axial motor. It is not the most suitable when dealing with long duct runs with bends/twists etc. For this reason we would not recommend adding extra ducting to this kit, instead it would be advisable to upgrade to one of our larger kits. Similarly if your heat transfer kit requires installation with twists and bends you may also look to upgrade to the larger kit. To get the most from this kit it is important that the duct run is as short, straight and tight as possible. To give you a rough idea of performance relative to duct length view the below table:
No Duct | 2m Duct | 4m Duct | 6m Duct | 9m Duct | 12m Duct | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
VKO 150 | 358 m3/hr | 270 m3/hr | 250 m3/hr | 200 m3/hr | 180 m3/hr | 150 m3/hr |
*These figures are all based on duct-work of the same diameter as the fan and are approximate calculations. This kit is supplied with 6m of ducting.
Installation
The kits can be installed by the client as it is relatively easy to install. Some handyman skills are required to make holes in the plaster, etc. An electrician is needed to provide power to the fan (or a power point) and a switch, also to install a thermostat if required. The electrician can also install the system at the same time.
The fan is provided with a lead and plug, so it can be plugged in to an available power point which an electrician could install independent of the system installation.
An optional thermostat is available (see accessories below) BUT NOTE THAT AN ELECTRICIAN WILL THEN BE REQUIRED TO INSTALL IT.

Very good system. Works well and easy to install. It might be good if the casing for the fan was wider on the outside to cater for the diameter of the external layer of the duct.
