Vent-Axia 414942 Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse 100mm dMEV Extractor Fan
Vent-Axia 414942 Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse 100mm dMEV Extractor Fan
The Vent-Axia 414942 Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse 100mm Extractor Fan is a low-energy, continuously running decentralised mechanical extract ventilation (dMEV) fan designed to improve indoor air quality while maintaining exceptionally quiet operation. Featuring a sleek circular design, intelligent air quality monitoring and adjustable airflow settings, this extractor fan is ideal for domestic bathrooms, social housing and energy efficiency retrofit projects.
Designed to support the ventilation requirements of Approved Document F 2021 Building Regulations, the Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse delivers effective moisture and pollutant extraction with independently tested sound levels as low as 7.4dB(A). Its compact construction, IPX5 protection and flexible installation options make it suitable for wall and ceiling mounting.

Intelligent Air Quality Control
The Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse incorporates intelligent air quality sensing technology designed to detect chemical pollutants, including total volatile organic compounds (VOCs) commonly found in indoor environments.
When increased pollutant levels or unpleasant odours are detected, the fan activates a proportional boost function to increase airflow and remove unwanted contaminants more quickly. This responsive ventilation system helps maintain a fresher and more comfortable indoor environment.
Near-Silent Continuous Ventilation
Engineered for discreet operation, the PureAir Cleanse features a quiet mixed-flow impeller that delivers effective extraction without excessive noise. With independently tested sound levels as low as 7.4dB(A), it is particularly suitable for residential properties where continuous ventilation and occupant comfort are essential.
Comfort Control Technology
The optional patented Comfort Control feature helps reduce unnecessary boost activation during short bathroom visits. A delayed start allows up to 20 minutes before boost operation begins, providing a quieter and more relaxing environment.
If the bathroom light is switched on and off within three minutes, the boost function will not activate. This feature is particularly useful during night-time bathroom visits, helping to avoid disturbing other household members.
Flexible Installation and Adjustable Airflow
The Vent-Axia 414942 features a compact design with a 100mm duct connection and a shallow 56mm installation depth, making it suitable for properties with limited ceiling void space.
Its IPX5 rating provides protection against water jets, supporting installation in bathroom Zones 1, 2 and 3 when fitted in accordance with applicable electrical regulations.
The adjustable airflow control platform enables installers to configure extraction rates to meet property-specific ventilation requirements. This flexibility can help achieve whole-dwelling ventilation targets using fewer fans where appropriate.
