Note:
- a wall switch or thermostat (see accessories) can be used to turn the kit on
- the vent in the destination room should be placed as far away from the door as possible
If extra duct, vents or joiners are needed we have a range of heat transfer parts.

About this kit
This 1-3 kit is the same as above, however the fan supplied is a metal VKM centrifugal fan. This fan has a slightly higher capacity vs the plastic model (555 m3/hr vs 460 m3/hr). To give you a rough idea of performance relative to duct length view the below table:
No Duct | 6m Duct | 12m Duct | 20m Duct | 30m Duct | 40m Duct | 50m Duct | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
VKM Centrifugal 150 | 580 m3/hr | TBC | TBC | TBC | TBC | TBC | TBC |
*These figures are all based on duct-work of the same diameter as the fan and are approximate calculations. This kit is supplied with 18m of ducting.
The Centrifugal motors also have the added benefit that they can be speed controlled via a dimmer style switch. For this reason they are a popular choice for customers who would like to have more control of the speed.
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.

The system was easy to install, instruction easy to follow. The entire house is now kept warm, with less wood used in the wood heater.
