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.


I've got the fan vented thru the soffit. In cold weather the vented air
condenses quickly making it visible. It's quite obvious that it blows

away

from the house and does not get sucked back into the adjoining vent.




Ya know, last year I put two vents in through the roof. They don't cost
much, don't take long and don't leak. It's just a bad ida to vent them
in the attic period


So you put 2 holes in your roof and I didn't. Furthermore I vented out
thru
the soffit not in the attic. I hope your holes in the roof turn out
better
than your reading comprehension.


And thus my house is up to code and yours isn't. there is no difference
between a vented soffit and the attic. I am happy that your insulation
isn't soaking wet, but you won't be working on my house anytime soon.
Hey, the gas furnace usually vents away from the house too, but you don't
put it right next to the window.

Since I merely pointed out that it was not a big deal to put it through
the roof, the same way that the soil stack does for the very same
bathroom, an is not prone to leaks, I think it is your reading
comprehension that is questionable.

You keep talking about "the code". Please tell us where you live (not the
street address) so we can look up your states building code on line. If
there is a restriction from venting a bath fan into the outside air through
a dedicated hole in the soffit I would really like to see it.
