Venting bathroom fan through the ridge vent
Not sure and hopefully someone else will chime in, but I think that
would defeat the purpose of having the moist air: a) contained, in piping, on its path from the bath to the outdoors b) not coming into contact with anything that could mold or rot along the way to exiting the structure - only metal and plastic. If you just run it up near the ridge vent, mold would ensue. If you could get it beyond the ridge vent - have the exit tibe go thru the ridge vent and project outside, that seems ok. Not sure which you meant. |
Venting bathroom fan through the ridge vent
not permitted in most building codes. excessive moisture into attic is
not desired. in other codes there is a fire spread issue. see complete technical answers to this and more at: http://www.buildingscience.com/resou...al/default.htm Mike Shapp wrote: In the process of replacing my upstairs bathroon fan, I found that it was venting into the attic. Since the fan is directly underneath the ridge, I'm wondering if there's any reason that I shouldn't vent it out through the ridge vent? Thanks in advance. Mike Shapp |
