If you do use a screened vent you should clean the screen regularly because it will build up lint quickly. ◄ Can I use this with a bathroom exhaust fan? Yes; Try to match the bathroom fan exhaust outlet with the wall vent, it’s best when the diameter of the fan outlet, vent and duct are all the same e.g. if the bathroom fan’s outlet is 6 inch use a 6 inch wall vent with 6 inch ducting etc. If needed use a reducer to decrease/increase the diameter size to bridge the gap of difference from your fan to vent. ◄ Can I use this with a kitchen exhaust fan?
