Supply duct in shower?

[greyboy39]

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.

I don't think I'd write it up.

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.

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.

I think the IBC wants four or six feet impervious in non-residential restrooms.

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
