And if you have a buddy that knows what they’re doing unlike the woman in the video that can provide assistance, you can easily cut the time to complete by half that
Lol! I guess that’s why those other RU-vids are helping us out! I’m always so impressed when someone posts a how to RU-vid. I have benefited a great deal from their willingness to teach.
Brick isn’t the concern, yes it’s kinda hard but still doable. The real problem occurs when you pull the whole thing up the ceiling and through the roof like mine is. I got 12 foot ceiling and another 10 foot attic height.
@@2013TombRaider THIS. ^ Try changing out a vent hood light bulb which turned into realizing the vent pipe wasn't properly sealed and aligned and then having the entire vent pipe fall from the roof because we didn't know the vent pipe was entirely supported by the vent hood itself--the night before Thanksgiving. We laugh about it now, but we had a nervous breakdown at the time. It is now properly sealed, supported, and sucks great. :D
We have large brick at the house my folks bought. I had to "move" the hole instead of piercing through; it was still easy, just a lot of work: this is not IQ challenging.
It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. ru-vid.comUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...
I watch someone else's they were using all PVC and I started thinking if there was a grease fire it would seem to me that it would be metal and that's why I searched for This Old House thanks for leading me the correct way as usual, you guys rock ~☆ 's
PVC is good for bathroom exhausts not for kitchen. I think there are DIYers who see a way something can be done and apply it to all facets of jobs. But you’re right, This Old House always leads in the right direction, hence why I’m here.
Thank you for the tip on installing the vent to the outside of the weather board. I couldn't find the right way to do it but after watching this video, you solved my problem.
Nice video, although it seems like something is missing from the beginning. I was hoping to find a video of a range hood with ceiling/roof exhaust, though, so I'll keep looking.
Great video, The only thing I should point is that for best performance the distance between the hood and the stove should be between 26-30 inches, otherwise you would loose efficiency. Especially when the range comes with the back panel, pushing the burners further out.
Good point. That vent looks to be about 3.5 feet above the stove. Not ideal, but better than nothing. He should address these tolerances, even if he can't adhere to them.
With ya 110%. I'm a homeowner not a contractor. My cordless dewilt is great when new but batteries never seem to have the capacity needed for a job like that.
I have installed hundreds of hoods similar to this, 23 years worth of hoods. The damper everyone is commenting on is attached to the hood. It isn't shown in the video but the metal boot that is directly attached to the hood and has the warning sticker on it at the end of the video has the damper in question. However, they couldn't attach the duct cover to the bracket at the top of the wall with the crown molding in place. The molding will have to be removed to attach the screws to hold the cover to the bracket.
dude who do I call to install one of these? I've called multiple hvac companies and no one wants to do it. my range hood is facing an exterior wall too.
I'm installing a new kitchen hood vent to replace a microwave/vent combo nonsense. There was a poorly placed vent that I need to remove, and I see that there is a metal box between the studs. Is this necessary for the new vent? In your video, isn't it a fire hazard if the vent output it directly touching insulation otherwise?
This is WAY too high. For Gas its a max of 30 inches (75 cm) and electric 26 inches (65 cm) so not only has she paid for installation, can't reach it, it won't work anyway! It's lucky you Yanks have houses made out of wood - in Europe, it's not such an easy job!
Your PVC trim board fit perfectly under the bottom (part that protrudes the furthest) of the siding. Was that just luck? Seems to me that you should drill a small hole from inside to get close, then go outside and position the trim board appropriately, then drill your 6 inch hole precisely where you want it. If your hole would have come out an inch or 2 higher the job wouldn't have looked nearly as clean. If I tried your way 10 times I doubt I would have gotten as perfect as you did even once.
That pvc trim could have been made any size to accommodate. I'd guess it's wasn't a coincidence, probably measured to the nearest siding and sized the trim to suit.
So he showed sliding in the vertical vent cover and then slid it up to the ceiling but never showed what kept it in place up to the ceiling? What held it from sliding back down?
What I have above my stove is a cross ceiling exposed beam. I need to either attach a hood to the underside of beam or side then vent horizontal out the wall.
Hello I'm looking forward to fix a new kitchen. My hobb is at the inside wall. So I am not able to duct out my hood directly outside. So I have to take it through my double garrage, which will be too long. Does it give a proper effect? Some of the fitters say yes some no. Please give me a proper guidence. I am really worried about it.
What did he put on top of the hood's air outlet? I'm in a predicament where the air outlet of my hood is too close to the wall to attach to my elbow, and it looks like whatever that is would solve my problem.
I have a problem because we have a two story home and the stove is not located to the outside wall. The ceiling isn't an option because we bought the house and we dont know exacty where all the wiring, vents and pipes go through. The AC vent is close to the stove area.. We have high cabinets, would it best to drill 6 inch holes inside all the cabinets until it leads outside, or over the top of the cabinets in the open to the outside wall? Any help would be appreciated.
How did you stop the inner sleeve sliding back down? On all the rangehoods I've looked at they screw into a bracket near the ceiling but there's no way to get to it without removing a lot of cornice and you didn't show that part.
I have question, Im installing the hood an a wall and on the wall I'm going to install thin brick veneer, my question is, should I install the hood first or the bricks first?
Nice job this is the first time I watched your video I need to install a vent Hood But my stove it's not next to the outside wall direct but there is a kitchen cabinet above and between the stove and outside wall any Idea for extension Accessory through the kitchen cabinet?
Thanks for this video. Now I understand how the power connection is made. What about a range hood that requires several feet of ducting to get to the outer wall? Would an inner fan be required?
bob fleischer but then you'll be cleaning grease off your ceiling or top cabinets for life 😂. I've seen those before in apartments and it's really useless
Can anyone clarify a relatively minor point, please. At around 3:10, or so, when they slip the inner duct into the other, that's firmly in place...the next action they take is to TAPE that connection. I get that rationale, I've used lots of duct (the actual stuff) tape. However, I see the piece slip into the other (basic male/female connection) and that connection is inside the wall. I don't see how you'd even have access to tape that connection. Am I blind?
Just bought one of your hoods but facing huge challenge to source a suitable elbow that fits behind the “chimney cover.” Watched this video for any assistance on tackling my problem.

Hi I want to fit kitchen extractor fan hood but please where there need wall drill hole 22 inch boiler pipe down side what I have to do please how many inches I go to above boiler pipe
Same here, funny to see your comment was posted just 15 hrs ago... I have a vent under the microwave above but it’s pointless & I’m tired of cleaning grease off of my cabinets and ceiling!
@@vdussaut9182 I think you're going to have to run some horizontal duct then. Through a soffit, or cut through cabinets unfortunately. I'm in the similar scenario.
Alex Tong your range hood exhaust should have a flap in it. the flap only opens to let air out. it'll close when the exhaust fan is not in use to stop cold air going in.
