Dee Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 My late husband started installing this bathroom extractor fan but I now need to finish it. Please can someone tell me what I need to bye ( preferably a with photo) to finish the job? It's a rectangle vent in the soffit but that's all I can tell you I'm afraid Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 In terms of ducting, if the fan is being mounted on the sloped ceiling, something like https://www.screwfix.com/p/manrose-round-to-rectangular-connector-elbow-90-bend-adaptor-white-100mm/96549 but you will probably need to cut the existing bit down with a multi tool. You need a 4" fan with a timer, plus 3 core and earth wiring which is normally taken from the light. The skeilings need insulating before they are plasterboarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 I found this among his bits.... Thankyou so much for your reply! I assume I need some sort of 'motor' to pump the air outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) 'The skeilings need insulating before they are plasterboarded.! Sorry, don't understand this part? Is that a typo? I think he intended for the ducting to turn 45⁰ (from the photo i posted) and run horizontal on the ceiling joist in the attic and then turn 90⁰ down through the ceiling into the bathroom/fan Edited October 24, 2023 by Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeard Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 'Skeiling' = sloping part of ceiling. Otherwise known as combs or sloping soffits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
