WC extractor suitable for use with 6 metre of ducting

Hi

Detailed designs for the routing of the ducting for our internal ground floor WC were omitted by our architect, meaning that the proposed route at ceiling level from WC to extension roof isn't (aesthetically) possible.

We are now looking at ducting the extractor 6 metres under the floor, through the insulation to an air brick.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an extractor/ducting that can cope with this, given I have been told by the contractor that there isn't room for an in-line extractor in the wall/floor.

Cheers :D

    An air brick will offer too much resistance to the air and should be replaced by a proper vent grill

    Go to the Ventaxia or Xpelair websites. Both have phone numbers for technical support. Explain the situation and rhe will offer a solution.

    I have used both companies and both offer good advice.

    XID 100 inline or a DX200 would do the job. 6m is nothing for these fans

    The only real issue with running extractor ducts under the floor and then (presumably) back up to the external grille is that you might get condensation forming in the ductwork...
