Inline axial extractor fan designed for air intake or extraction through round ducting. Its cylindrical shape allows direct installation in ducting or prepared openings, making it suitable for small ventilation systems in indoor environments and growboxes.
Key features
- Device type: Inline axial extractor fan
- Duct diameter: Ø125 mm
- Application: Air intake or extraction through round ducting
- Installation: Inline mounting on ducting systems
- Typical use: Air exchange in small environments and indoor setups
Overview
What it is for
It helps manage air exchange in enclosed environments, promoting the removal of exhausted air and the intake of renewal air when integrated into a ducting system. It is designed for domestic ventilation applications and, in indoor growing, to support microclimate control in compact growboxes and growrooms.
Who it is for
- Indoor growers who want simple ducted ventilation
- Growboxes and small technical rooms where ducted intake or extraction is required
- Setups where a linear, compact installation is preferred
What makes it different
- Inline format, suitable for direct installation on round ducting
- Practical solution for basic air-exchange systems
- Can be used for both extraction and intake, depending on mounting direction
How to use
Installation
- Check duct compatibility with the Ø125 mm diameter.
- Install the unit inline in the ducting section, observing the airflow direction indicated by the manufacturer.
- Secure the extractor fan firmly (for example with suitable clamps or brackets), avoiding tension on cables.
- Connect the power supply according to regulations and the manual instructions.
Tip: in a growbox, extraction is typically positioned in the upper part; active intake, where used, in the lower part.
Adjustment
- On/off management via timer or external control, if included in your system.
- For any airflow adjustment, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and verify control compatibility with the model in use.
Maintenance
- Periodically clean dust and debris from grilles and fan.
- Check that the ducting is not crushed or obstructed.
- Periodically check the electrical connections according to the manual.
Warnings
- Do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet.
- Install in environmental conditions compatible with the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Follow the manual instructions for electrical connections and safety.

FAQ & usage tips
What is the difference between intake and extraction?
In extraction, warm/exhausted air is removed from the environment; in intake, renewal air is introduced. The choice depends on the growbox layout and the microclimate management strategy.
Can I automate ventilation?
Yes: typically this is done with timers or external control systems, while respecting the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific model.
How often should it be cleaned?
It depends on the amount of dust and workload. Periodic cleaning of grilles and fan helps maintain correct airflow.
