Hi all,
I'm in the middle of my bath renovation, and I'm having some difficulty deciding where to run the vent.
I have 3 choices:
Any thoughts as to my best option in this case?
Thanks in advance.
I'm in the middle of my bath renovation, and I'm having some difficulty deciding where to run the vent.
I have 3 choices:
- through the roof: (not my favorite idea here in New England. We definitely get enough snow that the vent would get covered during the winter. And I'd rather not put another hole in the roof if other options are available)
- through the rim joist: I could run the duct DOWN in the adjacent closet and out the rim joist. However, I may put a deck on the back this summer, and the vent would likely need to be moved at that point. ( I got the idea from here: http://www.uexpress.com/first-aid-for-the-ailing-house/2014/6/4/down-not-up-is-the-best )
- through the gable: this would be fairly straightforward. The only problem is that the duct length would be 20 - 25 feet. The bath is 770 cubic feet (8*12*8) and the fan is a NuTone rated at 130CFM if that makes a difference.
Any thoughts as to my best option in this case?
Thanks in advance.
