I'm installing a bathroom fan and the back side of it is open to my attic. The metal fan enclosure has a lot of holes drilled into (presumably pre-drilled for mounting) it and I want to tape all of those over so that I'm not venting heat and moisture directly into the attic even when the fan/heater isn't running.
I know there is metal hvac tape available. But what I'm wondering is if the type of tape that I use even matters at all? I'm concerned that since the heater has those coils that heat up that if I use the wrong tape it could ignite. But then it may be all the heat is directed out of the unit and the enclosure doesn't see much heat.
