Can anyone think of a way to turn a chimney style extractor, that is designed to extract from directly above or behind. To one which extracts from the side.
It is very similar to this image, so you should get the jist.
There is no side access to the metal chimney conduit/ducting.
It is currently a re-circulating unit (which I dislike). The outside wall is to the side and it already has a extraction hole drilled in. I am trying to work out a neat way to redirect the extraction out the side, but look neat and professional.
At the moment I can only think of cutting a circular hole in the side of the chimney conduit, attaching a circular bracket and then attaching either metal flexible hose. Maybe covering up with metal conduit (which seems hard to find) will make it look neater than visible ducting. The only downside is there will be conduit bridging the gap between the chimney ducting and the top of the cupboard.
Any other solutions or kit to do this that I am not aware of?
Many thanks in advance.
