    will have to buy the flexible pipe to vent it outside aswell, normally there is som sort of of backdraught fitting on the outside.
    Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!

    If you are going through a ceiling then an in line fan is your best option, in line fans are better at pulling air through and expelling it. If you do go through the ceiling then good practice to fit a condensation trap as well.
