The Super-C has an airflow capacity of up to 300m3 / hr. The Super-R has an airflow capacity of up to 380m3 / hr. (25% more up draught) Both are constructed in cast aluminium alloy. ELECTRIC FAN COWLS Both incorporate a 230V economical yet durable heat shielded motor. Suits shaft sizes ranging from 125mm to 230mm (5"-9") in diameter. THE MAIN FUNCTION OF THE SUPER-C & SUPER-R ELECTRIC Can be easily installed by a competent DIY or electrical contractor.

INSTALLATION SOLVES ALL CHIMNEY DRAUGHTING PROBLEMS 1. The decision to install either the Super-C or the Super-R is based on the size of the fireplace Lack of Draught Downdraughts Improve performance opening area. Ventilation Problems Stale Smells Moisture Build Up 2. A fireplaces opening area is calculated by multiplying the openings height (H) by its width (W). 3. The Super-C is used when the fireplace opening area does not exceed 4032cm2 or 625ins2. SUITABLE FOR ALL FUELS 4. The Super-R is used when the fireplace opening area is greater than the above but does not exceed 5776cm2 or 900ins2. Solid Fuel Oil Gas Wood Pellets 5.
