The DR Horton Range Hood Microwave did not come with a vent out the roof. So I had to install one.
The parts I used were a stack hood (3.25 x 10) offset transitioning into a 6" round duct, and two 6" round ducts 8' long semi-rigid. Also a couple of 6" pipe connectors, ducting tape, and some loctite multi purpose sealing foam. Parts cost was about $80.
I paid a roof guy $150 for the installation of the louver vent in the roof. I didn't feel comfortable cutting a hole in my roof, and I'm pretty sure it would have voided the 10 year warranty on my brand new house... so I had the DR Horton roof guy do it instead!
Message me or comment if you have any questions.

Flex duct piping for vent hoods does not meet most building codes

Looks like a good time to move the receptacle over 6”.

Let me know if you fixed the thin doors and or put insulation in the walls for noise cancellation. Thats my next project, i hate the large gaps under the doors and inside the house has no insulation just the outer walls.

Do not use flex duct. Not code in most states for range exhaust.

Yeah, i read that oil can get caught up in it and it probably causes resistance to air flow.

I did that job once and had a piece of stainless steel cut to be a three sided box that I put on top of the cabinet, so it looked like a duct

@jicalzad 2 месяца назад

so that box was not connected to a duct and vented outside originally?

@ChrisRubeo 2 месяца назад

@@jicalzad what I created was just something that looked like a square stainless steel vent. It just covered the ductwork to make it look more finished.

Frigidaire microwave vented at the top

How do I take out the microwave? I tried but there seems to be a bunch of those tapes and not sure if its a good idea to just pull it out. My microwave’s fan stopped working and I wanted to check things out.

You'll have to remove enough tape to find the screws that are holding the microwave up. They should be towards the front of the cabinet. There are usually 2 or 3 screws holding the microwave in from the top on the front. Then the microwave will tilt downwards. It is being held in the back on the bottom by a mounting plate that is screwed into the wall.

@@marcantonio152 yes but when I pull the microwave down it felt like Im pulling out the duct(?), I don’t exactly know what is attached to the microwave but it seems like theres a bunch of tape just like the ones in your video. Would it be safe to just pull down the microwave?

@marcantonio152 4 месяца назад

The damper valve can be screwed in. You might need to take the tape off to find out. If you don't, pulling it down could cause some damage.
