The best thing to do is go to your local plumbing supply store and get a chrome 
plated brass pipe of the correct size and then get a couple pieces of
bent hose of the correct configuration and splice them together.  You can use 
large hose clamps as hangers to make sure it stays in the right place
and out of the way of your fan.
