Bosch DHE645MGB extractor hood - 120mm spigot adapter help??

[ucsman]

Hi guys,

Just in the middle of a kitchen project and fitting an integrated hood as above - reusing existing duct path & updating kit. I am having difficulty finding an adapter to connect the extractor spigot (120mm dia) to the ducting.

It is a very shallow spigot and having a mooch around B&Q today, could only find hard ducting connector rather that 'appliance connectors' that would afford a fit.

Apols if I am missing the obvious (or Bosch 'special' accessories), but any ideas??

Thanks,

Steve

Screwfix's 10684 is a 125 to 100mm reducer....is this what you need?

Thanks Burnerman - I have tried one of these already (procured from B&Q), but unfortunately the internal diameter is 125mm so it sits loose on the spigot, which is 120mm. Not good when the fans kick in

Done a bit of surfing on the net and have found a Manrose item that may adapt this make it work. Would sit over the 120 spigot and the 125 would sit in it.

Not seen them anywhere on-the-shelf so will have to order. Will have to give it a go.

Thanks,

Steve

Its quite a common issue really....I just increase the spigot diameter with electricians tape, and then fix with a jubilee clip or cable tie.
Cutting a slot in the larger spigot allows it to compress to grip.

Thanks Burnerman - will give that a go to save all the faffing about,
