Hi troops, just installed a bathroom extractor. When it was all fitted I switched it on and couldn't feel any suction. But I could see it was working, I took it down with it switched on I could feel the side in the ceiling felt cool.

I've only fitted a couple of these.the previous one when you switched it on you felt the air blow cool.

I'm certain I installed it properly, ehm what you think? Cheers.
 
stick a piece of bog roll (unused) against the inlet. if it sticks, it's not sh!t, it's suction.
 
Or use the instruction booklet that comes with the fan… a bit of the cardboard box would be too heavy.

if it’s vented through flexiduct, check there’s no sharp kinks in it which would restrict airflow.

I took it down. You could feel the suction on the other side. Weird.

You didn't check the outlet was clear which is a good starting point
 
Whatever mate, you must be board.
If you can't do the job don't bother trying
From your other posts it is abundantly clear you are trying to run your business on the generosity of the members of this forum giving you advice to complete the work you undertake. You clearly have a high opinion of your lack of ability and it is a pity your customers can't read some of what you post on here. To avoid being troubled by further posts I've added you to room 101 on here
Bye
 
@UNG asked you a reasonable question and you chose to disregard it with a sarcastic retort. If you want help from more learned members which you seem to do on a weekly basis then this isn't the way forward.

While I agree with the sentiment, I think the post you quoted was aimed at the OP (similar green avatar).
 
@UNG has a point if the duct is blocked then the air has nowhere to go when the fan is in the wall! When you took it out the air had somewhere to go.
I wouldn't knock good advice from experienced people!

wow.... Talk about making yourself look a fool !
All I was discussing was a extractor fan, look at all the negative remarks, im not even going to bother defending myself, because there's no need to. During my 7 years working and training in the industry, you come across arrogance, all different types of sparks, some sound some let's say not so sound. Whats your customers going to say if they read this?.. haha, your this your that....haha...its a discussion about a extractor fan. I use this site to discuss electrical matter thats all. I cant say 100% hand on heart anything on this site has helped me on a job... im not going to reply to any other negative remarks so don't bother.
 
Don't bother?
Oh well, let's lighten the mood...
