The Maico mounting plate ZM 11 is an accessory for the installation of MAICO small-room fans in rectangular duct openings. It serves as a surface-mounted mounting element in the duct area and enables a clean and visually appealing installation that can be adapted to existing wall decorations such as wallpaper. The plate is made of plastic and is available in traffic white, similar to RAL 9016. Its dimensions are 160 mm in width, 275 mm in height, and 3 mm in depth, allowing it to integrate optimally into standard rectangular openings. The mounting plate is specifically designed for fans with a nominal size of 100 mm.

Applications

The mounting plate ZM 11 is used in the field of ventilation technology, particularly for installing small-room fans in residential and commercial rooms. It is intended for use in duct construction and serves as a transition element between the fan and the wall opening. The surface-mounted installation allows for easy installation without deep embedding into the wall structure, making it especially suitable for renovations or retrofits. Adaptation to wall decorations such as wallpaper or tiles ensures seamless integration into room design.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The ZM 11 is designed as a rectangular mounting plate that fits precisely into duct openings with the specified dimensions. Its material, plastic, ensures sufficient stability with a low weight of 0.1 kg. The traffic white color, similar to RAL 9016, enables visual harmonization with most wall coverings. The plate is not intended for direct outdoor use, but for indoor applications in residential and commercial rooms. Mounting is done directly at the wall opening, where the plate serves as a base for the fan.

Technology Explained Simply

The mounting plate ZM 11 functions as a mechanical mounting frame that securely positions the fan within the wall opening. Its rectangular shape and exact dimensions (160 mm × 275 mm × 3 mm) are designed to fit standard duct openings. The plastic material is lightweight, resistant to minor mechanical stress, and corrosion-free, which is sufficient for indoor applications. Surface mounting means the plate is not recessed into the wall but fixed to the surface, simplifying installation and avoiding disruption to the wall structure.

Compatibility and Accessories

The mounting plate ZM 11 is specifically designed for MAICO small-room fans with a nominal size of 100 mm. It serves as a precisely fitting accessory that enables the installation of these fans in rectangular duct openings. Use with other fans or in different opening shapes is not intended.

Mounting and Installation

The plate is positioned to exactly fill the rectangular opening. Subsequently, the fan is placed onto the mounting plate and secured. Adaptation to wall decorations such as wallpaper is achieved by covering or cladding the plate after installation, integrating it visually into the surrounding environment.

Advantages in Operation

The ZM 11 offers simple and quick installation without deep wall embedding, making it particularly advantageous for renovations and retrofits. Visual adaptation to wall decorations ensures unobtrusive integration into the room. The low weight of 0.1 kg facilitates handling and installation. The use of plastic provides a maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant surface, which is sufficient for indoor applications. The specific fit for fans with a 100 mm nominal size ensures secure and stable mounting.
