Thanks woody, appreciated

Hi @^woody^ It’s for my bathroom of which it’s a 1970s build which we’ve owned for 20 years and it’s never had an extractor in it to date and still doesn’t embarrassingly so guess from your list that that falls under refurb The fan will be fitted in the loft and exhausted to a roof tile vent...

Hi there, Can anyone confirm the exact air changes per hour required for a UK bathroom please as per building regs as i am looking to get one fitted ? Size of the bathroom is 2.1 x 2.7 x 2.3m = 13m3 I've read everything from 4 ACPH right up to 10 hence, i'm a little confused The bathroom has 3...

….or a missus who has it on virtually fully heat, uses it to warm up the room for 10mins before then taking 20 mins !!!!! Cheers John !

£145+vat….OUCH ! Based on my bathroom size and building regs needing 4 changes per hour, I make it that I need 2.1x2.3x2.7x4 so 52m3 minimum I don’t want to go stupid but am happy to pay a little more for better quality but the slt looks to be twice as much Is it that much better than the...

Thanks for reply Taylor ! My bathroom is 2.1 x 2.3 x 2.7 so all easily meet regs for air changes per hour Is that fan reliable and can it be installed vertically as the output is on the roof ?

Not sure whether to post on the electrics forum of plumbing but plumped for electrics first I need to install an extractor fan in my bathroom and am consider the following : https://www.extractorfanworld.co.uk/turbo-tube-pro-100-4-inch-inline-fan-3780-p.asp...

Hahaha ! No worries at all opps Chin chin

It’s not mdf it’s traditional softwood opps It was just that I used mdf primer if you recall

the sink will pretty much hide the frame due to the stainless steel lip around the top so realistically, its only going to be occasional splashes and some water down the legs so really nothing to worry about. Its just a surface covering that can wiped down and repels water hence my thought just...

It’s simply a wooden frame to house a sink in my garage to wash the dog and use for general garage cleaning activities (brushes, my home brew and anything that the wife doesn’t want me using the main kitchen sink for) so I’m just wanting a finish that would be sensible where it might get wet...

Thanks again opps One final question if I may If I lightly sand and then apply a 2nd coat of primer, how important is a coat of undercoat or can I gloss straight away ?

Thanks for the reply opps and confirmation ! I likely have no other use for the mdf primer hence wanting to know if I can use rather than it just gathering dust in the garage Is there anything materially different in the ingredients of mdf primer vs traditional wood primer or are they both...

Hi all Can anyone confirm if I can use this mdf primer on softwood please or do I need something else ? For context, I have made a wooden frame to house a sink in it to use in my garage and was hoping to it Is it suitable please ?

thanks for the reply foxhole my plan was to use an mft100t with a discrete vent directly over the shower, a backdraft shutter on the exhaust side and a condensation trap too hence thinking could i mount the mft100t vertically Also, because its in a loft space, my thought was to use rigid and...

I’m looking to fit a Manrose mft100 in the loft for my bathroom To minimise bends in the exhaust as the outlet is on the roof, I was thinking could it be fitted vertically rather thank horizontally Does anyone know please as from what I can see, the downloadable installation instructions don’t...

t he at was my thought/solution also, but will the 3 pipes that can get warm, not affect the cables in anyway where the conduit passes underneath the pipes, or will it be insignificant and of no concern ? thanks again for your input

thanks for the input There won’t be any long term heavy usage of the types you mentioned Simply it’s a small freezer, washing machine and a tumble dryer, and then occasional tools (chopsaw, sdsdrill etc) and a heat pad for my home brew :D

Thanks for all the input so far ! So for a little more context, here is a photo of the piping I want to trunk behind : that trunking piece is 25x16mm and as mentioned, it’s a really tight fit….too tight, just like my suit trousers from too much WFH and eating rubbish :D I’m sure I could...

So onto next question….. do the cables need to be in trunking or can they simply be clipped to the brickwork ? And the same question re:need for trunking where the cables need to go underneath some central heating pipes ? the central hating pipes are secured with pipe clips so there is a gap...
