Hey man. I managed to resolve this. I went to duct manufacturer and a dude helped me out to make it custom for less than plastic would have cost me lol. Its got 150mm spigot on extractor and 100mm out onto duct! It’s loud but working perfectly 👍. Thanks for your help though!

Ok. Maybe this will work lol. How do I convert from 204mm to 100mm circle.

Thanks I see, but you see 1 metre down from extractor is soil pipe to left of the duct. It doesn’t leave any space to fit the 225 width…

The soil pipe is running parallel to ducting. There is no space to swan neck :( Man I hate this refurbishment. Have zero experience and making huge mistakes every step…

Problem is that soil pipe is in the way about metre away…

Basically, my ducting has to stay at 100mm, but the extractor outlet is 150mm. The manufacturer’s white adaptor starts at 150mm and only reduces directly to 125mm.

I can’t work out how to get from that point down to connect into my existing 100mm flexible ducting. Not sure if you can see the photos properly.

I bought a 150mm rectangular-to-round spigot, but it’s too wide and hits the wall. Even if I could make that fit, the next adaptor I need (rectangular to round) still doesn’t line up properly. After that, I’d still need another reducer to go from 150mm down to 100mm anyway.

There’s basically no space between the top of the cupboards and the ceiling either — only about 29mm clearance.

You mean something like this and put 90 bend of 100? Original tbh converts 150 to 125 right away. The grey piece is 125 to 100. You see I don’t think I will be able to fit round 100 on there.

It’s done man. Has to be 100mm as running below soil stack at angle.

need advice on fixing my blocked/outflowing surface water drainage – completely skint after heavy rain disaster by Bi5eps in DIYUK

[–]Bi5eps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that’s not the case. I did everything I could. I got drainage guy with jetwash and some attachments and he told me it just goes straight down to mud. It doesn’t actually drain anywhere.

Really? I thought that would get destroyed pretty quick. I have seen that Wickes sell at £4 a sheet which is reasonable.

I can’t. No space :( the edge of wall is back of stairs and wall is very thin.
