extractor

Hi, I was wanting to double check that it is safe for me to remove my old extractor hood from its fused spur and leave it switched off (and fuse removed) until my new extractor arrives? The hood is on the kitchen sockets circuit, so I want to switch the circuit breaker off for this circuit...

I need to put a hole through the external wall for a kitchen extractor and there's already a couple of other holes in the vicinity. I can't find any regs or official guidance for how large a hole you can make and how far they should be from other holes, openings etc. Is anyone here aware of...

Hi all, Vent Axia Solo Plus HT (Model 427479) power but not working I have a Vent Axia ceiling mounted extractor fan in an internal bathroom which has not been operating for the past few months. The unit is connected to the light switch and seems to be connected to the power as a blue LED...

Evening, I opened a fireplace in my Victorian semi, raised the lintel and put in a cooker and hob. Surprisingly I'm having trouble finding an extractor to fit into the hole. Dims are about 230 x 500 mm. The extractor ducting and electrics are in place. Cheers.

My electrician has fitted our vent axia centra lo Carbon SELV HT fan. Upon turning the fan on it starts in trickle mode. The humidistat kicks in when the room becomes humid. But the light switch wired in as per the wiring diagrams does not activate the boost mode. Can anyone offer any advice...

What is the supply to an extractor, is it just taken from the lighting, extended in line from the light and operated via the bathroom light switch?

Hello, I previously thought I had a problem with leaking ventilation ducting from an extractor fan vent in the loft caused by steam from the shower fan and/or a leak in the roof. This originally started as a nail had pierced the flexible ducting used to connect the 2 pipes in the loft and...

I have tasked myself (along with any professional help such as electrician, of course) with installing an in-line extractor fan in the loft - to service the bathroom (and landing if it needs it). I have a Vent-Axia ACM100T (timed) in-line extractor. I have also decided that I'd like a...

I've had a constant build up of water in our extractor fan ducting in the loft. This has been made worse by a tear in the ducting causing a leak to spread. There doesn't appear to be water dripping inside the loft from the outer edge of the pipe so I think the seal is secure holding the pipe in...

I've drilled a hole through a 350mm cavity wall for a 6" extractor, using what I believed was the correct core drill (152x150). Despite all the best will in the world, I've think I've managed to wander slightly, resulting in a hole that's not quite true. The result is that the 150mm liner I...

Yesterday - I hired an electrician to install this: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/hoods/neff-d61lac1n0b-visor-cooker-hood-stainless-steel-10164704-pdt.html I always get the opinion of fellow diynot forum members, before any job is accepted (by me) & signed off (due...

Hi there, My bathroom extractor is very drafty.... so much so that during the winter I ended up not using it and taping over cardboard to stop the cold air getting in. The reason for this, I believe, is that there is nothing behind the extractor, it's just mounted into a hole in the wall...

Hi, In our kitchen there was a vented single cooker hood - previous owners extended the tiled area behind the cooker then used a range. The ducting goes up and into a wooden box below the ceiling presumably as it is too high for the extending chimney hood. The new range cooker hood is going...

Evening, I have opened up the chimney breast in my ~100yr old house kitchen to put in a oven and hob. The plan is to install a canopy extractor. Ducting through the kitchen is proving a nightmare due to it being on the party wall and various other constraints, some structural. Anyway, several...

Hello all, I have tried searching for this everywhere but cant find the answer. I wanted to know if, according to building regs, the cooker hood ducting has to go out of the nearest external wall? I plan on having an extractor hood with an external motor so instead of it coming out of the...

Hi All, First time poster, long time subscriber. I am currently installing my inline extractor using the wiring from my standard extractor. On the standard extractor (fitted with external isolator and independent switch) the permanent live (brown) wire was terminated and taped up. Using only...

Hello, Refitting and slightly remodeling my kitchen. Electrician is coming tomorrow to do the wiring changes. One new item to be fitted is a free-standing extractor above the hob - this sort of thing. The extractor needs a 240v supply in its "chimney" - so there'll be a backbox with either...

Hello all, I have a Silavent May 202 fan in my bathroom. It was there when I bought the house 3 years ago. The house was built in 1985. Not sure how long its been in there. Its stopped working when you switch the light on. I know that Silavent have discontinued this model and I cant find a...

I have a Double Pantile roof and would like a recommendation on a decent solution to exit a bathroom extractor through the tiles. Could anyone help?

Hello I would really appreciate some advice. I have just had a new kitchen fitted and it's all looking great. The last thing that needs doing is the canopy extractor hood (DHL575CGB). I live in a block of flats, so extracting to the outside isn't really possible. I therefore bought the...
