    Shared soil pipe?.

    Hi. Most of the domestic extractor fans when fitted use a flexible pipe to carry the air to the outside. As has been rightly said it should have nothing to do with the soil system. Just a completely separate arrangement. To give an idea on the sort of fitting to weather the exit, have a look...

    Hi. These small job do not allow the searching required. But if you are reducing the pressure, using a few elbows will not look pretty. But allow the fitting of any thing you have in the bag. Decisions, Decisions.
