We have two exhaust ducts coming out of the soffit on the north side of the house. One is for the bathroom and one for the kitchen. For our renovation I have designed the eaves to be thin (3.5") and didn't think about how to make a 3" duct turn 90 degrees in a 3.5" cavity. I spent a good deal of time looking on the web for soffit vents that would work and found nothing. I also spent a lot of time in the hardware store trying to put something together from off the shelf pieces. I ended up taking standard galvanized steel duct and fabricating these two 90 degree elbows. With my snips, a rivet gun and some foil metal duct tape I came up with these two. When I was done (and it took a while to make these) I thought to myself that someone who knows a lot more than me must have done this before. A product must be out there because not everyone wants to see those exhaust hoods on the side of there house.
