[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3720425, member: 15054"] The exhaust fans in the bathroom need to fit against the sheetrock very well. If there is a big gap you can use aluminum or duct tape to seal the void. The fan as we know pulls in air and exhausts it through that flapper tube and that tube needs to have some length of vent pipe attached to it. DO NOT just let it blow at the insulation a few inches away. I will not debate weather or not it should exit the attic. The grills on these fart suckers need to be cleaned when they get dusty. If yours is sealed well and exhausting well it should easily hold up a few layers of bounty paper towels. My cheap one will hold up 7 layers of those paper towels. Select a size rolls not the full square ones. Easy test. I loaned my drill press to a friend and his dryer vented into the garage and in less than a month it rusted my drill press. Everything in his garage was covered in rust and lint. But his washer and dryer were 30 years old and clothes came out dripping wet almost. My washer will spin stuff very dry. In fact some of those small fleece blankets come out of the washer feeling dry as will some of my Merino wool socks. [/QUOTE]
