Kitchen Extractor Fan

    Hey,
    Im in the middle of installing a kitchen extractor fan when I discovered that the connection on the fan is 120mm rather than 100mm (like all the ducting I have purchased)
    B&Q only sell 100mm ducting and the hood people only sell 120mm ducting
    anyone know where I could get an adapter?

    Thanks!

    I had the same issue when installing an extractor about a month ago. When no other solution came to mind, I stuck the 4" hose into the 5" connection and masked it up good and tight with duct tape. Seems solid as a rock, don't think it'll be a problem.

    But that's my opinion.....

    Chadwicks have an adaptor 100mm > 125mm

    hafele.ie do various versions of adapters too

    125 mm ducting should be widely available and worth using as it will significantly cut down on the noise

    Hey thanks for the links, hafele.ie have a 125 to 100, that should do it

    Im joining the 100 to a flat duct (so it wont be seen)
    I havent seen any 120 - flat adapters anywhere (or even 125 regular ducting for that matter)

    thanks!
