Condensation dripping from bathroom fan

BuntyB

Hi, my bathroom fan drips condensation onto my bathroom floor. Not a big problem except that it is also staining the ceiling around the fan and making the paint flake. Condensation is gathering in the short length of flexible hose that goes between the fan and the outside vent and probably on the inside of the ceiling as well. not huge amounts but enough to damage the ceiling decoration. Can this be resolved by using insulated venting hose? Anyone got any advice? Thanks

Insulated extraction hose and I would also fit a condensation trap on there as well, you can get them on line for ceiling fans.

Maybe I'm just immature but on the forum home page I read this as condensation dripping from mucky butt.

I'll get my coat....

Does the condensation trap need to be emptied? Trips into the loft every few weeks?

No because it has a boss on the side so that you can attach a pipe to drain the water away.
