  • Bathroom Exahaust: Vent Verticle or horizontal

    I am replacing the old 20 year old noise box in the bathroom with a panasonic FV-11VHL2 . I have the option now to put in a broan RVK1a kit straight up through the roof or laterally to the soffit.

    I keep thinking that if I vent straight up I'll have water condensing and dripping back down into the fan assembly-kaboom!!! but If I vent sideways to the soffit and vent out to the side i'll minimize issues with water and my new fan.

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

    go to the west young man! yeah do the soffit route. you'll get lot of problems if you go through the roof.

      Yeah
      that's what I envisioned, although I was all hot to cut a hole in the roof and slide that thing in there as seen through this youtube video...., and thumb my nose at a roofing company that wanted $400 to cut a hole and slide the vent between a few shingles, 4 roofing tacks.

      Thanks Man!
