Recommended Roof Vent that Can Be Installed Above a Shower

Question:

Im looking for a MaxxFan by MaxxAir that I can install above a shower. The three MaxxFan products all contain the disclaimer Note: Not for use directly above tubs, showers, or range cooking surfaces. Is there something that can be done to accommodate an above-the-shower installation? Or, failing that, is there a MaxxAir product you carry that will work in that situation?

You technically can use a powered roof vent like the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-06401K however it is not recommended because the moisture can ruin the electronics.

So for above your shower, I recommend going with a manual roof vent like the Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent # V2092SP-28.

This will do the same thing as the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof vent but is manually operated instead of powered.
