Bathroom fan

[daveA66]

Hi
(not sure if this is the right place for this post?)

I am replacing our bathroom fan, as it's broken, and wasn't much use anyway. It was vented out under the eaves which is possibly the cause of bad condensation in the roof space.

One of the ridge tiles is a vent tile left over from the flue of an old gas boiler, so can I install an inline fan and extend the duct up to the ridge vent, using one of the galvanised ridge flue adaptors like in the image?

Any advice appreciated!

That should be fine, the vent duct would ideally be an insulated one to prevent the condensate reaching dew point whilst still in the duct and then returning back to the fan as water.

Thanks for the reply - and the tip about insulation!
Cheers

And fit a condensation trap too. https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=condensation+trap
