Wall extractor vent positioning

[a1topdog]

Are there any building regs for the positioning of the vent on for a 5" wall mounted extractor fan?

The only location I have would mean positioning it between a door frame and an internal corner of an external wall. I know if this was a flue on a boiler it would not pass regs, but can't find anything for an extractor vent.

Put it where you like there are no regulations for a vent

Thank you.

Just bear in mind the manufacturer's guidance for location, to get the best performance - 1800 high from floor level and 300 in from corners is typical.

But if your options are limited, anything is better than nothing.

Be sure you don't undermine any lintel bearings....or if you go at lintel height - avoid hitting the lintel (obviously).

That is one of my concerns as the small wall I would have to drill through is supporting one end ofa massive 4m wide steel holding up the back of the house.

I could put it in the ceiling but the ducting would have to be 3+m long. I cant use an inline extractor as I'd have no way of accessing it and I can't find a ceiling extractor that would do the job with that long ducting run and not be an absolute eyesore.

Looks like an icon60 should work
