Default Extractor fan ducting?

On Fri, 23 Jul 2004 19:11:34 +0100, "D" P.doody@monkeynuts strung
together this:

Any advice and also any links to schematics on installing extraction systems
appreciated.

I can't be arsed to write it all out again so I've cut & pasted most
of my reply from a recent post, (which you would have found using
google).

1. You'll also need two back draft\one way valve affairs otherwise
when you switch on fan A the ****ty air will be pushed into the room
that is serviced by fan B.

2. What sort of ducting are you using? If it's normall soil pipe then
a normal T. Other common methods of sourcing parts you require for
ducting include aimlessly wandering round diy stores and builders
merchants until something is spotted that can be made to do the job
with liberal amounts of duct tape applied!

3. http://www.domusventilation.com/et100.html download the pdf, look
on page 27, tees and backdraft dampers are on there. Now just wander
into a local electrical wholesaler and ask if they can get domus, also
ask for the equivalent parts in whatever brand they can manage,
probably be cheaper if its from a more usual supplier.

4. You can also order online here.

5. Remember, you can do anything with a roll of duct tape.

6. The condensation is usually taken care of by installling a loop at
the low point of the ducting below the vertical section to the ridge
and either leaving it to collect and evaporate or you can buy
condensation traps which you can attach drain hoses\pipes to.
