    Appliance Whip to Bath Exhaust Fan

    Although it is secured (stapled) within 12 inches of the connector, I'm not crazy about the routing of the NM-B to the exhaust fan as shown in the attached pic. Running the NM-B back over the top of the fan housing doesn't seem like a great idea to me either. Considered adding a 1x4 raceway but...

    I'm looking for alternatives to an American Standard Princeton (60x34) bath with integral overflow. I liked the idea of not having to box and sister the floor joists and the size is perfect, but after seeing it in person I'm not crazy about the finish. Thanks, Sam

    DWV Layout - Please Review
