An outstandingly good tutorial. I have just purchased a cooker hood, vent and chimney (of a different make) and the instructions with it are dreadful. I see many installation similarities between the model on the video, and my new hood and chimney and I feel I can tackle this job now with confidence. Here in the UK we use metric measurements but I for one wish we had kept imperial - so much more intuitive. Thank you for one of the rarer superb instructive presentations on youtube. Marvelous! diymostthings
According to my building department and the universal building code book, this flex duct is not to code, must use stainless steel, galvanized metal or copper... know anything about this?
Thank you for your comment. We have received many requests to create additional video content on how to properly install duct work. We appreciate your feedback, and we will directly emphasize this to our video team. To answer your question about where the duct work should go, the best option is to vent vertically through the roof if possible. However, if your particular design situation does not allow you to vent directly above the hood, then your best option is to vent through the side wall.
Nice presentation! However, flexible, corrugated exhaust duct is not proper application for kitchen hood exhaust since it can accumulate grease in crevices and become a fire hazard. This is also in violation of many building codes!
There is no inherent problem with redirecting the vent out the side or the back for that matter. As long as you can do it in a way that looks good and the duct work is hidden then it should be fine. Le us know if you have any other questions.
What does the power cord look like? Is it a 3-prong plug? How long is the power cord? If the power source is not up in the attic, then where does the power cord get plugged in? Does the outlet receptacle have to be a GFI outlet? 20 amp? 15 amp okay?
as the guy said 2 years ago (Justin) ''does it go into attic or through the roof. that's the tough question on my mind, the going thru the roof. what do you say?
this is awesome. too bad, i have a ventless setup, so it doesn't apply 100%, but still very good step-by-step instructions… now i only have to figure how to do tile-first-then-install-the-hood thing :)
SOrry for the late reply. No! Do not just vent it into your attic. You need to vent it outside either through the roof or through a wall. You can't vent it into an enclosed space.
In an indoor kitchen, this hood should be mounted between 38-36 inches above your cooktop. Above a grill or outdoor kitchen (which this hood really should not be placed above) you will want to hang it 36-40 inches. Check out this part of this video for specifics /G62N_nPV_Qo?t=6m9s
I just purchased this 36" hood on ebay and your video will be a great help when it arrives. Thank you. Very informative. Does the actual hood part come pre-assembled?
I am not totally sure I understand what it is you are looking to do. We do have hoods that go inside cabinets, that type of hood is called an insert or a liner. But having the microwave in between the range hood and the stove would be problematic for a few reasons. But, I am not totally sure I understand if that is what you are trying to do. I think it would be best if you would call us at 877-901-5530 between 8am-5pm MST and you can talk to one of us in person.
If all tutorials were like this one, I would have saved so much money.
That was awesome.
Thanks

in the process of getting a new kitchen ... using this as a method of removal (safety first) ... much appreciated ..
Do you have any videos that show how to do the ventilation next step. Once the chimney is connected where does the ventilation go?
excellent demonstration thank you

Is the mounting process the same if the ceiling is sloped?
were does that duct work go in ceiling out through roof or wall that seems to be the most work to do than just screwing the range hood to the wall

Thank you Mark, good help.God help you mate..

Do you just let it vent into your attic, or does it have to go out of the roof?
Thanks for the tips
great video

I am not sure who you would have bought it from on ebay, but it should come assembled, yes. We send them out assembled from our factory.
good job,thanks.
it would take 5 hours at least... what happens to the exhaust?? just goes into the wall?
Very nice!

very detailed
How high must have from the stove
