Bathroom extractor

[waynes]

May be a silly question but i just want to check before sorting

Currently have a very old yellow looking extractor fan mounted in the bathroom extracting straight outside. Wall is plaster board, insulation then 900mm of brick and the current extractor protrudes about 150mm from the wall.

Is it possible to fit an almost flush extractor to extract the air to outside without any ducting?

Think I should know this answer but never hurts to ask

can you not cut the ducting down?

Thats one thick wall

It will be ok with very little ducting and a flap on the outside?

You'll need approx 1m of ducting to reach from the fan to the outside surface of the wall, but that can terminate in a flush, or almost flush, unit with flaps.
