Default Plumbing Code - Can I tie my bathroom exaust fan into the main plumbing vent to the outside.

Ok...I am no plumber and makes good sense, but is there enough pressure
in the air vent to push the "sewer gases" sideways and down to my
exhaust fan. I was thinking as long as I don't create a direct route I
would be ok. I just wanted to tie on to the side, kind of like my sink
is right now.

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I will do a little more research.


The flex hose from mine is wired to the inside of one of the existing roof
vents. It works fine. When I re-roof soon, I'm having it routed to its own
vent, but you could get away with jury-rigging it, if necessary.
