Default Installing a bathroom exhaust fan and the proper way to vent it...

"What happens is that warm moist air is drawn into the next soffit vent

into the attic space where it can cause damage. Remember that soffit
vents
are normally air inlets. "

I guess that's theoretically possible, but has anyone ever seen it lead
to an actual problem? Bathroom fans are almost always on for a short
time, so any moisture that was introduced should dissipate pretty
quickly. I have a hard time believing that in actual practice, this
is really an issue. It's done on most of the homes here in NJ that
I've seen and hasn't been harmful.


Many people in these groups state their personal opinions in absolutes.
Grain of salt.
