    Default Extracting out of the loft

    Okay so I'm gunna run some ducting up out the bedroom ceiling and into the loft. I would rather it didn't end there as the loft is tiny and heat builds up quick in it. Now I'm clueless, but there looks to be 4 lots of tubing running up out of the tiles into the beautiful fresh air. One is the bathroom vent, which isn't powered, just an open/shut vent. Not sure what the other 3 are. I'll attach some pictures. And hope someone knows the best one to attach to? Using something like this I presume?


    Although I'm wondering if I attach that to the bathroom extraction what's to stop it just pushing all the air back into the room lol?

    Whats on the other end of the pipes running out mate? If you used a joint like the first picture i see no issue with it re-entering

    Could be wrong but in my mind if its pointing upwards and being forced that way by your fan it wouldnt then go back on its self...

    Not sure where this pipe is running to down below but maybe easy to make a connection here.

    Not a clue where these go either

    This one I believe is bathroom below

    Roof vents will be standard ones, they're fresh air vents then mate...to stop condensation/black mould for people who dont open windows, disconnect and use one going out, obviously wont be an issue...

    The tile vents are ideal mate, wish id have gone that way rather than chimney but hindsight eyy, wonderful thing!

    You need to figure out where abouts in the house theyre coming from to see what theyre connected to, if anything at all...

    If youre sure of the bathroom one id be tempted to use that though

    I'd take it off completely but that would mean leaving bathroom window open and last time I did that a fucking widow spider nest hatched and had 200-300 baby spiders crawling around the room scared to open that window again for more than couple minutes lol
