An apparatus for venting several rooms having exhaust fans through existing roof openings made for existing ventilation systems, including turbine ventilators, roof ventilators, ridge ventilators and hip ventilators. The vent apparatus has two side panels, a bottom and two end panels. The apparatus is mounted under the roof ventilation system, using horizontal mounting elements disposed on the top edges of the end panels and side panels. When a ridge ventilator or hip ventilator is used, the end panels are formed with slots for fitting around the ridge rafter or hip rafter. The apparatus is mounted under the ridge ventilator, using mounting elements disposed along the slots on the end panels to attach the vent apparatus to the rafter. Each circular opening in the body had a stub extending downwardly for attachment of an end of the venting hose, which is connected to the bathroom exhaust vent fan. Removable covers can be placed into unused openings. Odors and moist air are vented from the bathroom, through the bathroom exhaust fan, into the vent hose, into the vent apparatus, and out through the roof ventilator.
