I am trying to replace a very old Xpelair toilet extrctor fan ( with timer ).
I cannot find a model number and would like to know if there is a website which shows photo's of all the xpelair fans ever made so that I can visually pick out this particular model.

The fan could be as old as the mid/late 1960's, it is unusual in that it is not square like modern units. The plastic panel on the toilet wall is approx 250mm wide and 290mm deep, which contains a squarish aperture with horiz slats, the name XPELAIR is in the plastic above the square aperture.
It has 4 fixing screws which hold it to the piece in the wall, the screws are approx 210mm apart horiz and 245mm apart vert.
The unit in the wall measures approx 255mm vert and 220mm horiz with a fixing hole for the toilet wall panel in each corner.
The circular aperture in the wall mounted unit fo air flow measures approx 150/160mm.
The solenoid that operates the shutter assembly is mounted above and to the left of the circular air-flow aperture.
If I can determin the model of this unit I may be able to qoute it and find a near modern replacement.

Many thanks in anticipation of a positive reply.

I think you'd be very lucky to find info on such an old unit. Could you not take the whole unit out ................ then take it to an Electrical Trade outlet ....... such as City Electrical Factors, or TLC-Direct. They might be able to match it.
Nope ..

Remove all of it, and build in a modern fan (which should easily connect) like a Ductex from Wickes for about £20-25. Easy job really. Buy one with timer if poss. Humidity sensing are not worth the effort.
I know CEF .. They won't have anything but modern replacement.
