Powerful 150mm Low-Energy Axial Fan with Pull Cord & Automatic Shutter

The Airflow Maxivent P | 72678201 is a powerful 150mm low-energy axial extractor fan designed for kitchens, larger bathrooms and utility rooms where strong intermittent ventilation is required.

It delivers airflow of up to 72 l/s (260 m³/h) while using a 28W motor, combining strong extraction performance with relatively low power consumption. The pull-cord control provides simple manual operation, while the integrated automatic shutter helps reduce unwanted backdraughts when the fan is not running.

Airflow describes the Maxivent range as a high-performance, low-energy ventilation solution specifically intended for kitchens, larger bathrooms and utility rooms.

Powerful 72 l/s Extraction

The Maxivent P is capable of moving up to 72 litres of air per second, equivalent to approximately 260m³/h.

This higher extraction rate makes it well suited to rooms that can generate significant levels of moisture, steam and airborne odours, particularly kitchens and larger bathrooms.

The fan's 150mm axial format provides substantially greater airflow than many smaller 100mm bathroom fans, making it a useful choice where stronger intermittent extraction is required.

Simple Pull Cord Control

The Maxivent P is the pull-cord version of the Maxivent family.

This gives users direct manual control of the fan without the need for a separate timer or humidistat. Airflow's current product range distinguishes the P model from the Timer and Humidity variants, with product code 72678201 specifically assigned to the pull-cord version.

Automatic Shutter

An integrated automatic shutter helps prevent unwanted air movement through the fan opening when the unit is switched off.

Airflow also describes the shutter operation as delayed and quiet, helping the Maxivent maintain a neat, unobtrusive operating profile.

This can be particularly useful in colder conditions where reducing backdraughts through an external ventilation opening is desirable.

Low-Energy 28W Motor

Despite its high extraction capability, the Maxivent P uses a 28W motor.

Airflow specifies a specific fan power of 0.38 SFP, supporting efficient intermittent ventilation while still delivering airflow up to 72 l/s.

Suitable for Wall or Ceiling Installation

The Maxivent range can be installed in either a wall or ceiling, providing flexibility when planning ventilation routes.

Airflow's residential ventilation literature also highlights interchangeable fixing holes, which can make the fan particularly useful when replacing older 150mm extractor fans without completely reworking the mounting arrangement.

Ideal for Kitchens, Larger Bathrooms & Utility Rooms

The Maxivent P is specifically designed for rooms where higher ventilation rates may be required.

Typical applications include:

• Kitchens
• Larger Bathrooms
• Utility Rooms
• Laundry Rooms
• Domestic Ventilation Upgrades
• Replacement 150mm Extractor Fan Installations
• Wall-Mounted Extract Ventilation
• Ceiling-Mounted Extract Ventilation

Airflow specifically identifies kitchens, larger bathrooms and utility rooms as the core intended applications.

Building Regulations Compliant

Airflow states that the Maxivent P complies with Building Regulations, making it suitable for appropriate residential ventilation installations when correctly selected and fitted.

Independent BEAMA data also lists the Maxivent eco P as delivering 60 l/s when tested under the Green Homes Compliance Scheme Test Protocol for kitchen extract fans.

Easy Retrofit Replacement

The interchangeable fixing-hole arrangement can simplify retrofit installation and reduce the amount of drilling or redecorating required when replacing an older extractor.

Easy to Fit & Clean

Airflow highlights the Maxivent as both easy to install and easy to clean, an important advantage in kitchens and utility spaces where grease, dust and moisture can accumulate over time.

Regular cleaning in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions can help maintain airflow performance and shutter operation.
