Roof tile vent - help me identify the type?

[rarara]

Hi - I am wanting to attach an extractor to the underside of this tile vent, but am unsure how to. Is this a specific make that requires its own connector? Internally it has a 100mm round hole, but nothing protrudes downwards to allow a hose to be cable tied/taped onto it. Any ideas?....

Apologies for the poor picture!

Is it lead? Got a photo of the inside?

No, looks to be plastic, possibly 10 years old or so? Its a bit of a crawl into the roof space to possibly get a snap - will try!

It is likely to be a roof space vent and not a tile vent terminal.

Swap it for a TVT and attach a length of flexi-hose to the spigot with duct tape.

aaarg, not possible without a roofer and additional expense/hassle/delay. is it not possible to easily utilise it by way of a simple connection?

Possibly with a bit of clever fiddling and plenty of duct tape.

You need to be careful though, that you don't dislodge the tile from its lugs as it may not be nailed.

I once had a similar problem and ended up glueing a spigot adaptor to the back of the vent and using hose off that

Guess it depends how well you can attach it. I used screws and epoxy. It held, bit wasn't ideal.

Well here is the underside - does this suggest I will need to modify something to fit?
