venting bath fan to outside from attic...
The 2nd floor bathroom fan vents into the attic. (WRONG, I know.)
I've been in the attic, and I see that I could either: vent to an outside wall or vent out the roof this is what complicates deciding: 1) venting to the outside wall means running a duct some 20+ feet to the outside wall. Once there, someone needs to get up on a ladder and install the outside ventcap, some 26 feet up off the ground. 2) venting out the roof would mean (maybe?) cutting a hole in the roof, and getting up there and so forth. I'm not keen on cutting holes in my nice roof, if I don't have to! Question; I have existing roof vents that vent the attic passively. Could I run a duct TO one of those roof vents? If the vent diameter was larger than the fan ducting diameter, I could still get some venting of the attic via that roof vent. But, if the ducting is the same size, then I've lost one roof vent.... suggestions? |
