Lumen Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hello chaps! I'm looking to redo the air ventilation in the bathrooms, as we've are adding the 3rd shower room on the top floor (loft conversion). So the house setup would consist of: G-floor - clock room / loo (small 6 4" by 22 foot) - 16 feet from loft extractor 1-st floor (main) bathroom (6 4" x 6 4") 10 feet away form loft extractor 2nd floor new shower room (4 foot x 6 4") will be just ceiling high away form loft extractor. The inline extractor I'm planning to use is: Manrose MF100T (68 litres per second, 245 cubic metres per hour extraction on max) for all 3 bathrooms and balance the airflow using adjustable ceiling vents. The current air vents are solid galvanised steel 4" pipes which run from the ground floor loo and into the roof. Is that sufficient for extracting in those 3 locations. What else do I need to do while I have access? Condensation trap and insulate the air vent pipes? Any advise much appreciated. Lumen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 You would need t9 make sure that none of your bathrooms are open to the outside for draughts when the fans are not running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for heads up, I take it simple 100mm Non Return Valve should do the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Spring loaded NRVs would be one way. But you need a comment from someone who knows more about balancing pipe runs than I do. Ferdinand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
