BushDoctoR Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I missed this post... Yes it can be done, I'm doing it currently! I'm growing in the loft of a rented house, cutting holes in the exterior were not an option and the soil stack ran through the loft so I gave it a go. I must admit I was very worried about "blowbacks" when I first set it up but I've been running this for 2.5 years with no issues. I tee'd into it very close to the top of the stack and my 6" doesn't budge a thing in the u-bends downstairs, I'd be wary with a larger fan or doing this further down the house though. I guess you could say the shit did not hit the fan! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumplestilskin'n Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) make sure its open vented and no automatic air vent installed otherwise it wont work and push the air down drains for sure or water out of traps possibly Edited June 21, 2022 by rumplestilskin'n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticriver Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 this is most definitely not venting through a soil pipe (good idea by the way op) but there are other covert ways to vent at the top of most windows there are trickle vents, ive taken off the open/close covers as they restrict the slatt underneath my extraction just slots into the end im thinking ur prolly in the loft, thats why ur askin about connecting to soil vents, so I was gonna delete this not even bother, but u might be able to get to window somewhere or other... mystic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Lots of people in this thread have no idea how a soil pipe works They do go down, and that's where the shit goes, but there's also a big vent stack that goes all the way up to the top of the house to let air out, as long as the extraction is always running then there would be no backdraft and even if there was it would have to go through a carbon filter before entering the house..... It's a genius idea, I'm surprised its not more popular. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
