Problems connecting ducting to tile vent

[timbr]

Hi. I’ve had a Klober 15 x 9 tile vent fitted (this kind: https://www.roofingoutlet.co.uk/pro...-tile-vent-antique-red?variant=5285962678303#), including the supposed 100mm pipe adaptor.

However, it turns out the hole is more like 105mm and therefore impossible for connecting 100mm flexi pipe to it (yes, I know solid is better but 110mm solid is too big).

I’ve even used the accompanying 100mm flexi (https://klober.co.uk/accessory/flexipipe100100mm) but that leaves me in a no better situation.

What am I failing to understand? What should I be using to connect the damn thing up? Extractor-wise I will be using a typical 100mm inline Manrose so presumably 110mm flex is less desirable as it’ll also be too big, but I guess clamping it on will would be ok - is that what I’m meant to do?

Many thanks.

I always used a pan connector for extractors and vents. Don't know if that would fit?

Ah, ok, that sounds like a possibility given the leeway the rubber seal provides. For less than a tenner it’s worth a try, thank you.

For anyone else in this situation, it turns out this Kair ducting 110-100mm reducer (https://amzn.eu/d/70KAc21) nicely fits over the outlet for the Klober vent tile (the 110mm end), allowing regular 100mm ducting to be attached on the other end. Will require a solvent weld or similar to keep in place. Hope this helps others.

You can attach using foil tape.

Good to know, thanks. I might give that a go. Are they reliable enough in the long term, ie they won’t lose their stick?
