greyboy39 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Is this allowed, I couldn't find anything that says it isn't. It was above the height where direct water would flow into the duct, however I imagine that a certain amount of steam and moisture would get into the duct work. Click to Enlarge 40.32 KB
Marc Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 I would. The register in the shower breaches the tub surround and may allow shower water to get where it can cause trouble. Move it higher and repair the surround. Must be chilly in the summer when the AC is running. Marc
Steven Hockstein Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 My house was built in 1956. There is a vent through the wall of the bathtub surround. Not against code. Just contrary to common sense.
Jim Baird Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 I think the IBC wants four or six feet impervious in non-residential restrooms.
AmeriSpecguy Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 I find these quite often. I put it in my report but don't make a fuss about it. I do usually see some rust in the ducting serving that register though
