Greetings DIYnot-ers. Apologies in advance if this has ben answered elsewhere already and I just failed to find it...
I'm installing a NEFF cooker hood, which has a 120mm diameter output port - yes, 120mm, NOT 125mm. Initially I thought I wanted a 125mm (so-called 5") to 100mm (so-called 4") adaptor followed by some flexible PVC 100mm ducting (plus jubilee clips for either end of the hose/ducting) which I ran off and bought from the builders merchant. Turns out though, the output port from the hood really is 120mm (which, to be fair, it states in the installation instructions) so the 125mm-100mm adaptor is no good. Rang up NEFF and the bloke on the phone told me to just use 120mm pipe/duct, therefore no need to use an adaptor of any sort at all. Except I can't find 120mm pipe anywhere. Does it really exist? Is he having me on? Can I get a 120mm-100mm adaptor anywhere (again, tried and failed to find one)? Everything seems to be 125mm or 100mm, but no sign of 120mm in any of the usual places (Screwfix, Homebase, B&Q etc., local builders' merchant).
