Extractor fan in bathroom in the loft.
The only way to do it is to bring a rigid flat pipe such as this one -

DOWN between the rafters amd then out through the wall of the house. (I can't bring it any other way in a terraced property with very odd style roof tiles that must be messed with - in a conservation area).
Is this ok? What problems do I need to be wary of if I do this?

Re: Bathroom extractor fan
You should probably try to ensure that the rectangular trunking has at least the same cross sectional area dimension as the circular outlet of the fan.Manc chippy wrote: What problems do I need to be wary of if I do this?
One day it will all be firewood.

Re: Bathroom extractor fan
The wall of the house comes up higher then the floor of the loft. I can't but it through the roof or the party wall. The only place I can bring the pipe from the fan is between the rafters of the roof down to the wall of the house and then out.wine~o wrote:any pics of the outside of the house (particularly roofline/eaves) ? might help with suggestions ??

Re: Bathroom extractor fan
I just a diyer so feel free to ignore but I can't see any issues. The fan is just blowing out moist air through a duct so pretty unrestricted. It would want to be a p*ss weak fan not to be able to do that. It is heading down wards too so any possible condensation would drip to the outside.
