Exhaust fans are designed and installed to pull steamy air out of your bathroom. It would make sense to remove it as close to the source as possible, i.e., from your shower stall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, bathroom fans are electrical devices, and showers are wet environments. While there is a way to do it, extreme care must be taken whenever working with electricity in a damp environment. There are also other factors to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-nutshell-ZEIBJp wp-block-lazyblock-nutshell\"><p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7d1b1;color:#575f60;font-size:18px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497 eager-load\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20200%2050'%3E%3Crect%20width='200'%20height='50'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><br><strong>A bathroom fan can be installed in a shower.

Let&rsquo;s break it down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-how-close-shower\/\">Near to the shower<\/a><\/strong> &ndash; as the source of most of the steam in a bathroom, you want the fan to be close to the shower to catch as much steam as possible before it has time to move throughout the room, fogging up mirrors and giving your wooden cabinets an unwanted steam-clean. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Not in the shower<\/strong> &ndash; bathroom exhaust fans pull air from the room and replace it with air from outside (the room\/house). If the fan is in the shower, the resultant &ldquo;breeze&rdquo; will be blowing over you while you are trying to enjoy your warm shower!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>On the ceiling<\/strong> &ndash; steam naturally rises. So, just like placing the fan near the source helps to ensure efficient steam removal, placing the fan on the ceiling where the steam gathers will help the fan to operate in the most efficient way possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Between the shower and the door<\/strong> &ndash; as the fan pulls replacement air from outside the bathroom, if the layout as door-shower-fan, air replacement wouldn&rsquo;t be as efficient. If replacement air doesn&rsquo;t eliminate the vacuum created by steam removal, negative pressure further impairs steam removal. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About Bathtubs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a <strong>bathroom that has no shower at all (including bath\/shower combos) and only a bath<\/strong>, the positioning of the bathroom fan will remain the same, except that you can position it directly over the tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is safer than with a shower because the bath and its faucets are lower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you are less likely to bothered by the breeze because you are lower and the bath is not enclosed by walls, which limit the path of the airflow. In other words, any draft created is blowing above your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a <strong>bath\/shower combo<\/strong>, then you can apply the same bathroom fan placement conditions as shower cubicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>bathrooms with both a bathtub and a shower cubicle<\/strong>, you will want to keep the placement the same; a foot or so from the tub and the shower, on the ceiling and between the tub and shower and the door.

The air being removed will not be able to be properly replaced as this air has to find its way through cracks and crevices in the enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the replacement air supply is impaired, removing the steamy air takes more work because it is pulling against a negative pressure gradient already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ducting Can Influence Fan Positioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are specific <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bath-fan-duct-length-dimension-table\/\">requirements for bathroom exhaust ducts in terms of materials, sizes, lengths, and bends<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ducts linking the fan to the outside (<a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/does-a-bathroom-fan-need-to-vent-outside\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1591\">bathroom fans have to terminate outside<\/a>) have to be as short as possible and as straight as possible. This is to ensure that the air passing through them does not lose its velocity before it can be expelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it did, the moisture would condense in the ducts and <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-dripping\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"280\">drip back through the fan<\/a>, which can cause all manner of issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is unlikely that installing the fan in the ideal location described above would be much different from installing it a foot to one side in order to be in the shower stall, it is still something you have to consider. <\/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\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct.jpg\" alt=\"Twisted-aluminum-duct\" class=\"wp-image-33352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-150x109.jpg 150w\" 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\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Twisted-aluminum-duct\" class=\"wp-image-33352 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Twisted-aluminum-duct.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If I Have a Window In My Bathroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you even <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/are-bathroom-fans-necessary\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1411\">need a bathroom fan<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an operable window, then technically, you don&rsquo;t need to install a bathroom fan.

This is not the best practice because steam is generated faster than it is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think that your fan needs to be in the shower to be more effective when, in reality, you&rsquo;re just turning it off too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get out of the shower and turn the fan off, the steamy air in the ducts stops moving, cools, and condenses. This can rust ducts and drip from fans. In addition, all the steam still in the bathroom as well as the invisible moisture in the air will stay there, causing moisture damage in the bathroom.<\/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\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air.jpg\" alt=\"Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air\" class=\"wp-image-34034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-150x109.jpg 150w\" 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\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air\" class=\"wp-image-34034 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Woman-in-a-rob-leaving-the-bathroom-filled-with-hot-air.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-long-should-bathroom-fan-run-after-shower\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3237\">fan should be left to run for at least 20 minutes<\/a> after you are finished showering. Depending on your fan, 40 minutes or an hour might be more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, leaving a bathroom fan to run for too long comes with its own problems and risks. Leaving your bathroom fan that is not rated for continuous use on for far too long is risky because it could end up causing fires, as noted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/s3fs-public\/Eutectic-TCO-Report-6b6-cleared-cleaned-January-2018-version.pdf?3ywEWRDSyyoRKnY5gXqccA95JgwPqtjB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a> (CPSC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your concern is how easily you can forget to turn the fan off, then you can install a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/best-bathroom-fan-timer-switch-9-excellent-options\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"632\">fan timer<\/a> that automatically turns off the fan after a set amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You <em>can<\/em> install a bathroom fan in the shower but the electrics must have GCFI protection and the fan must be shower-rated. Additionally, if your shower cubicle is enclosed, you need to install another fan in the main bathroom area (unless you have and use sufficient natural ventilation). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can do it, a better position would be a foot from the shower cubicle, on the ceiling, and between the shower and the door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever you decide to install the bathroom fan, remember that you must follow your local building codes for safe installation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, use your newly installed fan responsibly, reducing any risk to yourself and your home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, your newly built or renovated bathroom is almost complete, and all that&rsquo;s left is the exhaust fan.
