HOW TO VENT A BATHROOM EXHAUST FAN

HOW TO VENT A BATHROOM EXHAUST FAN
iPower Vent Hose on Amazon: geni.us/z83l
Aluminum Foil Tape on Amazon: geni.us/Arbd
Hey Dads,
I had an energy audit done on my house and the auditor told me that I needed to vent my bathroom better than what was already there. So I bought two vent hoses so that I could extend the bathroom exhaust all the way to so the soffit and out of the house.
You can also use this vent hose as a dryer vent hose. These iPower vent hoses seem to be very durable and they comes with the clamps in the package. I did get some aluminum tape so that the hoses would stay together better and be easier to put together.
This is my authentic, unedited #review / installation of the iPower Ventilation Hose for my bathroom exhaust fan. If you like my review videos, consider subscribing, and let me know in the comments what you want this dad to review next.
Dad Out!

You should use insulated duct. This helps eliminate condensation from form on the outside of the ducting when the warm air is going through the cold attic air.

[@abphilippi]

Maybe start off with "I have no idea how to properly install a bathroom vent. This is for entertainment purposes only".

[@garrychauvin6731]

*Works amazingly **Fastly.Cool** . I love all the features and the double expansion. For once a fan is almost as tall as my window. Updated but not overly fancy.*

How to connect a vent hose to another vent hose Video. I find this interesting that people are thanking you for this information.

[@seanproinsias]

Clicked for 'how to' but got 'how not to'.

[@Aepek]

3:35 not sure if others have said already, but what ya missing to connect to flex lines is a 4” coupler. Than ya use foil tape to secure the flex lines to aluminum coupler (which has 2 male crimped ends that will accept the flex lines) and will be secure w/o driving crazy trying to connect to flex lines

[@ArbitDavid]

I came here to say this. Thanks.

[@kathleenmccabe7041]

Doesn;t the vent hose need to be an insulated one?

[@rke1987]

You should use insulated duct. Ran straight up from exhaust fan out your roof. Never ever run it out your soffit because it'll just cause mold back in attic once it sucks the air back up through the soffit

[@elmermt]

Lowes. sells a coupling that goes inside of that flex pipe. and use 2 hose clamps.

[@DadReviews]

Thanks for the info! I should probably get one!

[@anthonydeandre84]

I was that a coupling would be available to connect two hoses.

[@bomat761]

I would use an aluminum flew as a Union, put both hoses on the flew and use two clamps on the hoses. Then if you want, use the aluminum tape over the seam.

[@dtp614]

Hell yeah. Good work.

[@DadReviews]

thanks

[@nickbrooks4043]

I wanna see drilling the hole in the roof to vent it

[@ImVeryBrad]

Search this old house

[@paulbarajas5218]

The clamp is only used with a coupling that goes inside the vent hose!

[@DadReviews]

Thanks! I should have realized that!

[@williecarter2942]

Where is the finished part showing what it looks like?

[@PSpurgeonCubFan]

have this exact same problem - just bought our first house and went up into the attic - bathroom fan just blowing into the attic - THANKS, Dude.

[@DadReviews]

Welcome. Glad the video helped

[@scottsee2468]

You can purchase 6" sheet metal contoured vent connectors. Connect with hose clamps or duct tape.

[@leesunlung]

What is wrong with the pipe that goes straight up?

[@roofproplushomeimprovement5]

Agree with Joao, you need to use insulated flex hose, this will not pass an energy audit

[@someperson4712]

do they make these in small size? Like 2 inc holes?

[@DadReviews]

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. search for 2 inch vent hose.

[@stephenlima7524]

Also, you should likely use an insulated pipe if you are in a cold climate

[@DadReviews]

I'm in Louisiana. It's pretty warm most of the year.

[@jethro9341]

In any climate, you should use an insulated vent.

[@honestmcgyver]

But a plastic adapter to connect 2 hoses

[@damnright4]

Awesome!! now I know how to connect two duct lines

[@LarryDavidshow]

Try using the correct 4" hard pipe this should be used all the way to the outside not flex that's for a dryer.

[@Jaredxstp]

That flex is no bueno

[@Corn0nTheCobb]

Still don't know how to vent a bathroom exhaust fan. All I learned is how to connect two tubes together.

[@305liveandlearn]

You use some dryer vent tape around the clamp also, and top it off with duct sealant putty all lathered. I do 3 coats and when it hardens it's never coming off 💪🏽

[@MrMusiclifer]

One needs to run an insulated duct to keep down the moisture while exiting through a proper roof vent too See link for THIS OLD HOUSE kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqLVi4qalKiEf6c

[@georgeswca]

BATHROOM FANS SHOULD NEVER BE VENTED TO A SOFFIT. EVER!!!!!

[@DadReviews]

Thanks for the info. I'll have to change mine! Are they supposed to be vented through the roof or out to the side of the house... Do you know?

[@georgeswca]

@@DadReviews Preferably through the roof, but a side discharge will work just as well.

[@whiskeybravo91]

.........venting moist air into the soffit, where your attic pulls air in......you might as well just discharge straight into the attic

[@BrianHw1]

This didn't show how to exhaust a fan, just how to connect 2 hoses together.

[@marstacinchurski]

To make this even better, use an insulated flex hose. The amount of moisture from your shower can create condensation and whatnot which is awful in the attic. 💪🤙👍

[@tastylemonschris3415]

you have your grandmas chair in your attic?...tssk tssk!

[@DadReviews]

haha... just some old chairs from a table.

[@jerry4012]

Don't run it to the soffit, it's just going to come right back in.

[@DadReviews]

isn't it about just getting the hot air out of the attic.

[@jerry4012]

@@DadReviews heat rises, so when you push heat out of a downwards facing soffit it's going to come back up.

[@DadReviews]

@@jerry4012 ... and this is why I make videos so that I can learn from you guys in the comments. I knew heat rises, but I had never thought of it in this circumstance. Thanks for the info.

[@jerry4012]

No problem man

[@stephenlima7524]

@@DadReviews There are vents that point out and away from your soffit that mitigate this issue

[@skiprope536]

Hysterical. Keep your day job!

[@DadReviews]

ok

[@normanlace3655]

Not through soffit....soffit draws the air back in attic.....roof or wall.

[@sergiocruz5617]

These was so hard to watch

[@northernoutdoorsmandave9067]

Comedy show ??

[@DadReviews]

Did I make you laugh

[@fabiandee8178]

the installer cut it likely to reduce costs, and not bothering to terminate it is cheaper but totally amateurish - likely had no idea what he was doing or a total cowboy. I think you should have just bought a new longer section of ducting it's not that expensive.

[@anthonydagati4072]

People should not vent their bathroom exhaust this way 😂

[@DadReviews]

What did I do wrong?

[@bomat761]

Don’t clamp a seam.

[@jbfam7208]

Not sure if ur the right person to claim “installing vent correctly.”

[@jamesgordon1520]

Please don't 😐

I really feel like I need to vent...

[@DadReviews]

hahahhaa!!!

[@bat197]

This is a," Not" How to Do Something. 1}Wrong type of duct. 2} Not an insulated duct. 3) Wrong connection of ducts. Closer to, "Reality" TV then a how-to video..

[@DadReviews]

Thanks for the feedback

[@dmanmoto]

Please dont make videos about somthing you have never done! Because you are doing it wrong!

[@DadReviews]

What did I do wrong? Hopefully I can fix it.

[@sasquatch5603]

Dryer vent 😂

[@dmanmoto]

@@DadReviews dude you are using dryer vent tubing, not insulated tubing for an attic. You will breed condensation, mold and loose lots of heat/energy, with what you did.

[@starluxstudio619]

This thumbnail is very off putting

[@DadReviews]

Why?

Dude, seriously?

[@deemanrt]

That piece of shit vent hose us fcked. How has nobody come up with plastic connections that can just insert to expand the vent pipe. That terrible crunchy vent hose is meant to cause mental breakdown. Especially when you're working with it over your head to connect it directly to the fan.

[@squirtiscool4u]

This taught nothing

[@sharonaw1827]

you didn't show how to vent it, only tape it. waist of 6 minutes

This is embarrassing

[@DadReviews]

why?

[@petar55555]

@@DadReviews Are you serious? Have you seen your video? Your title has nothing to do with you trying to connect the two pieces for the whole video for the first time. At least practice and deliver a quality content, and you still ask why? look at the negatives you got. Nothing agains you, but this is just wasting peoples time

[@surfing.4ever]

first, Don't run it to the soffit, second, you should use a insulated flex hose and not that crappy Amazon hose you bought. Horrible video, thumbs down bud.

[@waystar01]

Joao Delinger 6 minutes of my life wasted. I want to know how to install it, not watch you figure out how to join two pieces for the first time

bye

[@efraincordero864]

Stop being cheap and get a professional to vent correctly

[@DadReviews]

I talked with a professional and this is what they suggested. Is there something that I missed?

[@janepatton8100]

It's not that difficult of a job bro. Why waist money getting a professional to do something you should be able to do on your own. You shouldn't even own a house if you can't do this on your own.

[@RedHorseAdventures]

jane Patton You shouldn’t comment if “waist” means anything other that what size pants you wear...
