what sort of vent would you use for puting the exhaust out a soffit? I have about 8" of soffit, and it would only be 4-5' away
The only ones I have seen are for a roof, or wall type, that seem to need to be vertical for the shutters to work.

thanks.


You don't need a shutter. The fan housing has a flapper
valve built-in. There are some nice decorative vent
outlets you could install in a soffitt. Take a stroll
down the BigBox aisle for some ideas.
