So duct out to the garage, then up to its ceiling, and inside that go to wherever? If you're willing to peel open the wall, go up _inside_ the garage wall? -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To

No, don't see any easy way to run a duct inside the ceiling other than out into the garage, but maybe I could go through the ceiling over the garage to the outside wall.  The issue there is that would be the front of the house, so aesthetically that would be a challenge. Max Dillon Charleston

I don't think that will meet fire code -- garage walls are usually thicker sheetrock and a fire door, you put a penetration in there and if a car catches fire  or something, you have a problem --FT On 3/7/21 6:06 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Yeah, it occurred to me that you also might

If it’s just a half bath I can’t see an issue with it venting into the garage. It’s not like the air would have a lot of moisture as if it was a bath with a tub or shower. Only smells. I presume the garage does not get conditioned air? Again, this shouldn’t be an issue as far as I could

I've got a downstairs half-bath (toilet and a sink) right off the kitchen, and the vent fan is a ductless that simply recirculates the air through a charcoal filter. I'd really like to make this a vented fan, but there are no exterior walls nearby, but it would be relatively easy to vent into my
