How To Vent A Bathroom Fan Through The Roof

[Tool_Addicted_Carpenter]

You don't need to use your finger to add the sealant to the nail heads, it was just about to drip onto the roof so I caught it at the last second.

Edit: Everyone saying the pipe isn't insulated should notice that this is a cathedral ceiling. None of this is in an attic. The pipe is contained in a 100% conditioned space and surrounded by insulation where it matters.

I did residential HVAC for a couple of years and NEVER had a vent pipe look this clean. Well done sir, I'll have to keep this info

Nice description!

I like the semi-sad sounding “and then do another one” haha

As a professional roofer for 13 years the only thing I would have suggested here is to add ice and water shield around the hole before the boot was installed and the around the top and sides of the boot to where the shingle row ends. This will ensure it never leaks around the booth or hole. I've been installing shingles to NRCA specs my entire career and for the last 3 years been exceeding them by adding my own based on regular customer call backs over the years. Since doing so my call backs have been reduced by over 75%. My suggestion above was one of our regular call backs leaks around boots. Good luck and all in all that was a clean install.

Nice install. If you are in a cold climate, you will need pipe insulation to prevent condensation. Also, a few feet of horizontal pipe before going vertical helps prevent a leak from condensation.

This is the quality and quantity of information needed. Seriously good work!

Most concise, no nonsense, detailed and easy to understand video Ive seen about this. I’ve seen 5 20min videos that dragged on and on and just left me with more questions

Wow this is invaluable for homeowners taking in this project

Good on you for doing a proper job, even taped the straight pipe, , , , this is how you do it folks, no lie, this guy did a great job!

[MultiTasker]

I liked how you did a horseshoe with the sealant, allowing any moisture or water that got in there to leak out thru the bottom, most people would just do a complete ring. Clean work 👍🏽

Nice job. I have a dryer vent on the roof and had to put a cage around it, because two separate times birds came in and made a huge nest in the vent. Now, just need to clean the cage from lint periodically, but way better than birds nest and bird poop! I don’t like going on the roof as much, so I made a detachable flange in the attic to disconnect the pipe, clean the vent, and put it back.

Fellow hvac tech here, many kudos brother good job!

There is always a bit of nervousness hole sawing the roof, even though u know u have it dead center from the pilot hole.

[ChrisPileggi]

I'm glad to see someone else tape the seams and joints. This is an A+ install!

[toollife]

Excellent, no BS explanation and video! Thanks!

[BThack]

Thanks, I needed this to motivate myself to tackle this project.

[johngordon]

One word, perfect. Beautiful job sir.

[nickfitzgerald]

On a Reno job. What trade do you get to do this? Electrician brings power in for exhaust fan. Do you hire a seperate HVAC to hook vent up? Roofer to put roof vent in? Carpenter? It's that one gap I haven't figured out.
