Dryer duct - would it also fit an extract fan?

[Harry Bloomfield]

Looking at this item - https://www.screwfix.com/p/manrose-tumble-dryer-termination-kit-100mm/11703

Is there any reason why the rigid pipe through the wall, would not also fit directly a 100mm extract fan?

Should be ok I would imagine the dia of the grill spigot will be the same as an extractor fan.

Looks like a good price too, not long ago I didn't find a hose much cheaper than that.

A rigid pipe is always better than convoluted hose.

Do you mean you already have a duct through the wall?

Screwfix site reports as down at moment, but would have thought it would work.

I didn't see that, here. The site has worked just fine, throughout. I wonder if they present a different site to those in Wales, from those in England, and it is the Welsh version which is down?

Oh yes if that's all you require.

I required a 1500mm hose and 2 connectors in a bit of a hurry, ie not posted. IIRC I paid a bit over £10 which included a 3m hose.
Ironically the flange and possibly the square plate included in that kit would have probably been an easier solution.

SF site has been available throughout the day AFAIC and my grandson finished a shift there at 20.15 and reports no problems.

The rigid round pipe is better, and you should be able to tilt it so any rain or condensation runs outside.

Before permanently fixing if, check that the connector or spigot on your fan fits. I have recently had cases where it would not go in the duct and I had to shorten and saw it.

The cowl vent is quieter and more durable than the flap type, and more weather resistant. I use brown because it suits my brick colour and does not look dirty.

Yes, that is all I needed. Ordered, sms to say ready to collect 10 minutes later, then collected 30 minutes after that. I had looked on ebay, and they had some really silly prices.

I'm, at last, getting around to finishing the installation of the bathroom fan, which I began installing some 15 years ago. When I originally fitted it, I simply used an existing boxed out - through the cavity vent. The outside, was one of those double height brick vents. I simply opened up the hole sizes a little, and fitted a rain deflecting panel, stuck over the top. It sort of worked, but causes a lot of back pressure to the fan, which could be much more effective, with a proper vent on it's outlet.

Plan for this weekend, when Avril is able to assist, is to demount the fan, remove the timber boxing through the cavity, offer the pipe in, the break-out the brick grill to let the pipe poke through, then reassemble, with the new terminal.
