Bathroom fan vent duct

I just finished installing 4" rigid pipe for the dryer vent to outside.
the current bathroom fan is a 6" pipe that just vents into the crawl space. Can I use plastic flex duct and reduce it to 3"? What is the cheapest code compliant way for bathroom venting?

Run the same size duct that is coming off of the fan. Also needs to vent outside and not into a crawlspace.

Air intake for utility room?

D

debeze on Sep 21, 2018

My house has a small utility room with a gas water heater and no ventilation to/from the outside (other than the gas heater duct of course!). I have the exhaust issue solved--a 5" duct with inside elbow leading down toward the floor, but [B]what is the appropriate device to use for through-wall[/B] [I]intake[/I] <12" below the ceiling? I presume something with a damper defeats the purpose. I live in the California Bay Area so cold air is not a giant concern. Thanks a lot.

Woodlow on Sep 30, 2018

Im changing my furnace out with a70,000 btu with a/c. My issue is, the coil and plenum is 17 1/2 × 21 3/4 and the supply trunk is 18 x 8 which is 20' long with 8-6" runs off that. Do i put a 16x8 takeoff on the plenum and fit it to the 18x8 trunk? Looking for suggestions!
