Need advice-dryer vent and bathroom vent

September 10th, 2009

I have my washer\dryer in the second floor- in the bathroom
So I have two vents comming out of there- into the attick

I ahve one vent on the roof.
Right now I have the Dryer vent pipe and bathroom vent in a T-junction in the attick bere it connects to the vent on the roof

What is teh best way to handle this?
1. Should I have two vents on the roof?
2. Or should I vent out bathroom via the a soffit on the side ?
3.Someone recommended using the same vent as it is now- just to join the two via V-connector at the top

I am quite confused- Any advice ?

Thanks !!!

This is a townhuse condo- btw

You can not use the same vent. They have to have there own vent. Does not matter what kind of vent you have. The person that told you to use the same vent is very wrong!!
If you do have heavy snow then you probably will be better with sidewall venting.

Soffit venting is always problematic because it allows the moisture-laden air to enter the attic through the soffit air-inlet vents.
