I’ve purchased a single room unit to extract air from the bathroom, it will pass it through a heat exchanger and exhaust outside.
In parallel, air is drawn from outside, through the heat exchanger and slightly warmed before vented through the ceiling of the landing/stairwell - there have been issues in the past in this area with condensation over winter when the house was tenanted And I’m hopeful that this will help reduce that.
Fitting seems relatively straightforward - it’s pre-wired and has a standard plug so won’t presumably be notifiable - but I’m somewhat puzzled by the arrangement for the condensate drain from the bottom of the loft unit.
I was expecting this to be a standard fitting to attach a piece of standard overflow pipe - however there is a spigot fitting for a hose instead.
The instructions are very vague, they show a trap arrangement but fail to suggest how this might be achieved - any suggestions as to how this might be achieved?
