Extractor ventilation - round to flat channel T joint

[chilscout]

In UK, I am looking for something like this - I have 2 extractor hoods side my side and this would do the job perfectly - I've tried links on the web but they're either in the US or Blauberg UK won't be stocking it.

Failing buying one, can anyone suggest a way to make one - not sure how feasible this would be.

Two extractors means two separate ducts.

If you use one of those splitters all you’ll do is send the air from one extractor to the other.

As above you need 2 separate vents

Could I get round this by fitting a backwash/backdraught valve between the extractors and the T?

Or would this compromise things if/when both fans are running?

You need two separate ducts ideally.

I know but I’ve inherited a situation where I have the 2 hoods going to one external vent. I don’t really want to cut another external vent due to position of existing one and lack of available space.

If I can’t get 2 into one working I think I’m going to go for buying a new 1200mm extractor and make it ventless.

Do you/anyone think the backdraught valve stands a chance of working, even though not ideal?

You should be able to find what you need here https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Ventilation_Index/index.html although you may need a combination of different adaptors. And I would definately go with a shutter rather than a recirculating extractor which are generally considered a waste of time.

You can get 1200mm hoods with the vent offset to the left or right.
