Venting a Basement Bathroom Fan Outside

View Comments

• Ahh the Internet what an invention who thought someone somewhere else would be drilling an exhaust hole for me

• Will this slinky foil vent last a long time.

• 4 years of civil engineering school, 2 years of a master's degree in construction management, 10 years in the industry and I got to tell you, I've learned more from you than anything else. Thanks for the videos

• In cold climates you'll need insulated duct so the hole will have to be slightly larger I think

• Can be connected a dryer and a extractor fan connected together to the same duct ? If yes how I do that?

• Isn't it a good idea to use the insulated vent tubing for a bathroom fan? How much more would this have cost to go with your Everbuilt vent kit?

• I followed this and now have condensation in my flex vent. The cold air from my basement is meeting the humid air from outside and there is water build-up in the line. Do I need to use insulated flex vent instead, or add an extra in-line damper to prevent more of the humid air from coming in?

• So I did mine exactly the same way you show in the video. Using the exact same vent kit and fan has a great deal of condensation forming on it. You can feel the water in the vent itself. I caulked all around just like you show. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• Does the venting always go straight out or should there be a bit of a slope before it goes out so that the condensation doesn't drip back inside? Also, should we use insulated venting in colder areas for side venting?

• What about steel or aluminum siding?
