IMO, and it is only an opinion, The bath fan should be a completely
different run.


If it happens to be a gas dryer I know there is a code violation there.
It's code violation either way. Even if it weren't, the moisture and lint
that gets through the bypass is a deal breaker.


Shouldn't have allowed it to begin with and any reasonably competent
remodeler should have known better.


I saw that post. Thanks to the person who took the time to look it up.


I suspected it was a violation but did not know for sure.


If something similar comes up again, call your city/county/whoever
building permitting authority and ask to talk to someone about local
codes...never had one refuse to answer such a question.

A big THANK YOU to everyone that posted a reply. I live in Illinois
and the scary thing is (at least the way I understand it), you don't
have to obtain a license to be a contractor. I guess we are 1 of only
2 states that don't require this.

Anyway, I plan on telling my contractor NO DICE!!

Thanks again !!
