Bathroom vent out the side of the house?

So I’m planning out a bathroom remodel and part of that is replacing the vent fan because currently mine is just venting into my attic (no bueno). I know normally bathrooms are vented out through the roof but my bathroom is on an exterior wall so I was wondering if I could just vent it out the side of the house. I’m going to...

Fosheze OP ,

Theres no sofets on my roof (only has like a 4" overhang) so that shouldn’t be an issue on my house.

Now that you mention it I have a dryer vent that’s exactly like that. If something like that works for warm moist air from a dryer then I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for warm moist air from a bathroom.

Fosheze OP ,

Weird. Must just be one of those regional things. All of the ones I’ve ever encountered that I know of went out the roof. Good to know going out the side is normal somewhere though.

Fosheze OP ,

Yup. With the vermiculite insulation in my attic and the moisture from that vent, I practically have an ideal mold farm up there right now. I need to fix that vent before it gets too much worse.

Fosheze OP ,

My roof only has like a 4" overhang with no sofet so that isn’t an issue in my case.

It’s just a cosmetic defect. But if you’re really woried about it then you could just replace it. Breakers aren’t that expensive.

For those wondering like I was, mousewheels typically use optical or magnetic rotary encoders. However some do actually use potentiometers. I’m pretty sure the one pictured is an encoder though; all of the potentiometer based mousewheels I can find are way more bulky than that.
