Otherwise, you&rsquo;d just be venting it into the next room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if you are looking to install a bathroom fan in the ceiling and run the ductwork through the ceiling and crawl spaces and out the side wall, then you would not need an exterior wall in the bathroom, and such a configuration is also allowed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rules Regarding the Exit Vent Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking at venting your bathroom fan through the wall, you do need to consider some of the regulations that are in place, especially regarding rules that apply to exit vent locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P2\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P2_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1504.3\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P2\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P2_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1504.3\" target=\"_blank\">Section M1504.3<\/a> of the International Residential Code (IRC) specifies that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>&ldquo;Exhaust openings shall terminate as follows:<\/em><\/p><p><em>1. Not less than 3 feet (914 mm) from property lines.<\/em><\/p><p><em>2. Not less than 3 feet (914 mm) from gravity air intake openings, operable windows, and doors.<\/em><\/p><p><em>3. Not less than 10 feet (3048 mm) from mechanical air intake openings except where the exhaust opening is located not less than 3 feet (914 mm) above the air intake opening&hellip;.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why your bathroom exhaust vent must be at least three feet away from your property line is to contain your &ldquo;house waste&rdquo; on your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, say, your bathroom exhaust vented directly over the fence, then your neighbors are constrained as to what they can do with that part of their house or yard, which isn&rsquo;t fair. Your exhaust can also end up damaging their house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three feet minimum distance from gravity air intakes is important to prevent the bathroom exhaust from simply coming back into the house and causing moisture and heat damage to other rooms and compromising the quality of the air therein&mdash;it&rsquo;s a health risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings.jpg\" alt=\"Minimum distance of bathroom exhausts and a mechanical air intake openings\" class=\"wp-image-23852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Minimum distance of bathroom exhausts and a mechanical air intake openings\" class=\"wp-image-23852 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Minimum-distance-of-bathroom-exhausts-and-a-mechanical-air-intake-openings.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The distance between bathroom exhausts and mechanical air intake openings, such as the air supply vent for a furnace or gas-heater appliance, is greater than what we have been discussing so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increased distance (at least ten feet) is due to the fact that these intakes are actively pulling air into a system that requires the air to function properly and safely. If the air being pulled in is moist and hot, then it can create issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exception is if the bathroom exhaust vent is located above the mechanical air intake. In such cases, you can return to the minimum three-feet rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot air rises, so when the bathroom exhaust leaves these vents, it&rsquo;s automatically going to move away from the mechanical air intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>There are other <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-exhaust-fan-termination-requirements\/\">Bathroom Exhaust Fan Termination Requirements<\/a>, which you will need to follow.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Must Be Shortest Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you vent your bathroom fan, you will want to take the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-placement\/\" target=\"_blank\">shortest route to the outside possible.<\/a> This is because the shorter the path, the more efficiently the vent works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> When you have a longer vent path, the airflow in the vent will be negatively impacted. It raises the static pressure, which slows the air down. This is exacerbated by the increased number of joins and elbows, which also cause friction and reduce air speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slow airflow means more time for cooling and condensation in the duct and it also means that the whole system is less efficient and less effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Vent Through the Side of the House?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you <em>can<\/em> vent your bathroom fan through the side of the house.

This means that your fan will be more efficient.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A <strong>wall vent is less likely to leak<\/strong>. Roof vents are susceptible to leaks because rain, snow, ice, hail, wind, and debris are all present and able to erode away the edges of the roof around the vent. Walls are still exposed to the elements, but to a much lesser degree.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Venting through the side of the house also means that your <strong>vents are far less likely to be blocked up by debris<\/strong>, which can interfere with the efficiency of the exhaust system.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages of Venting Through a Wall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Wind blowing against the wall can cause <strong>backdrafts<\/strong> in side-wall vents. A damper can stop this from becoming a big issue, but the bathroom fan will still have to push air out against the air being blown against the vent.
