Bathroom fan

Aug 16, 2008 2 Replies

I recently hired a contractor to install a bathroom ceiling fan. He hooked it up to vent out an existing vent stack. Is this OK to do?


Thanks,


If by existing vent stack you mean a vent stack for the sewer system, the answer is NO. It's a code violation and for good reason. It allows the possibility of sewer gas entering your home.

Run from the moron he doesn't know what he is doing.
