Hi,

bought a Manrose 150mm/6" extractor fan from Screwfix to use in the kitchen.

Having finally (after a week of man flu) got round to opening the package I
see that the fan is labelled "For Bathrooms and Toilets".

So what is the difference?

Is a kitchen fan a higher extraction rate?

This is rated at up to 230m3 per hour.

I dont know either, but would expect noise. Brief bathroom exposure to
noise is one thing, but continuous noise in the kitchen would not be
tolerated.

Bathroom one will need to be IP24 or better for fitting in zones.
Kitchen one has less stringent requirements, and would just have
to be IP2X like any other appliance anywhere else.
