Or is it simply as short as possible??? I could pull two tiles and put these vents in quicker than you could get the core drill out to do the first hole.... If the intake / exhaust are going to be more than 1-2m then they need to be properly insulated.

If I attempted it would result in a post topic titled “I fell off my roof “

July 10, 20197 yr So can the mvhr vents go thru roof tiles? Do they have to be on sane elevation to prevent being unbalanced like Jeremy said his can be

July 10, 20197 yr And did I read right in that the shorter these intake/extract intake pipes the less need for lagging/insulating? Note @pocster has a warm roof type setup but i'm asking for future reference

Note @pocster has a warm roof type setup but i'm asking for future reference Nope - insulate them properly all times as it’s about condensation risk. Also worth tilting them down slightly toward the outside so they self drain.

Is it correct that this is to do with condensation on the outside of the ducts, not the inside. as in winter the runs to and from the external terminals will be cooler than the indoor temperature?

Yes. The problem is that the humidity inside the house may well be higher than that outside, so the cold duct may attract condensation on the outside surface.
July 23, 20197 yr Author Right ! Have decided mvhr vents will be through the roof - much simpler as i’ll Get someone else to do it ? Still can’t work out how to board this and have good access to mvhr unit and header tank . Assume placing the tank specifically over the wall stud as it gets more support . Guess I just go for it and see what happens .
