I’m so glad I found this video. I love how this guy isn’t a contractor. All the other videos I’ve watched the contractor will glaze over huge chunks of the project and assume you know how to do it. Also, when I watch this guy fumble around and it turns out nice, it makes me think I can do it too. Thank you!
1. You need to have the edge of the hole much farther from the roof valley. 2.Your instalation will leak from the proximity to the valley and from improper flange to shingle/underpayment interface. 3. Flex duct not allowed use only straight wall galvenized duct pipe. 4. Best practice would be to insulate the outside of the duct. Caution to those watching: If this job could be done incorrectly this video shows you how to do it incorrectly in as many ways as possible.
Bravo! Not a project for the faint of heart. Loved your real world experience and recording, warts and all. Thats reality! I live in a condo and am sick of grease coating everything , everywhere when I do a steak or stir fry, so I purchased an industrial strength range hood. It said it can be used ventless as well, but if at all possible, I want to find a way to vent it. The roof to this property has barrel roof tile and I'm definitely not allowed to be poking holes in the roof! But I still want to investigate the possibility since vented is infinitely more efficient. Your video gave me some encouragement. I've done every type of DIY renovation imaginable including installing my hardwood floors, installing ceramic tile, plumbing and even installing a steam generator in my bathroom for a sauna. But somehow this comparatively straight forward....cut hole, insert pipe seal and attach to range hood, has me sweating bullets. Anyway, thanks for sharing your brave and successful install experience.
I love this because you guys actually have to go back to Home Depot and have false starts like the rest of us but get there in the end - helpful video!
This was so encouraging and motivating! This video gave me the confidence I needed to tackle this project in my kitchen and my bathroom! Thank you!!!!!
I would be wary of installing a vent so close to the valley on the roof as it is the most likely place to leak in the roof. The pipe is not to code as it is flexible. A solid pipe install, that has been insulated, and connects to a vent well away from the valley would be a better way to address the installation.
THANK YOU sooooo much for making this video. It was just the info I needed to conclude that I need to hire a professional rather than attempting it myself!! 😂 (My husband thanks you too. He doesn't like me getting on the roof.😉)
I couldn’t stop laughing 😂.....”looks like a bunch of nasty”, “groove, ledge I do not know what’s it’s called”. I was attentively paying attention though. I learnt something. Good vid
This video was great. It gives me confidence that I might be able to do a project I thought I would have to hire someone to do. (I'm trying to install a ceiling mounted vented range hood in a mobile home). I just need to figure out the ceiling mount part (I wish you had a video on that). Thanks!
Thanks for the video. We're doing the same conversion but our ceilings are only 7' 2" tall so pretty short. I want to mount it high enough so I don't hit my head on the front of the vent. Yours seems pretty low. Have you found that to be an issue? Thanks
Keep in mind that there is requirement in some states that, if the vent from the dryer is longer then 10ft the exost duct must be solid, not flex. Not sure about vent from the hood, but most likely the requirements will be similar.
I'm sure other have commented on this one part, but in case no one has yet I will give my feedback. You should be using a rigid metal duct and not the flexi-paper-tinfoil stuff. This comes from my thought that you might want to treat it like you would a dryer vent, and the recommendations for the vent might be the same. I personally used a "Heavy-Duty Semi-Rigid Aluminum Duct" that "Features a maximum heat resistance of 435⁰ F".
I really like watching your video and how you just go for it. Sounds like you've got plenty of feedback on what could have been done better, so it'd be interesting to hear if you've experienced problems. The only thing I want to add is that I was nervous watching you cut the shingles with the utility knife towards your leg. If that would have slipped it would have gone straight into your knee. I was working on a home project with a guy who did that exact thing and buried the blade in his leg to the handle. Luckily he had EMT training and stitched himself up. Remember, "towards your buddy, not your body." Thanks for the video!
This a a great video he is really doing a real world video we have all made mistakes when we were new this is great. I would never install vent in a valley. A valley Is a river on your roof to direct water to gutters so leak is probable. Always check roof first to know where the hole needs to go. Great job great video
im in the same boat as u were but unfortunately i have high ceilings so i cant think of any way to make it look decent without relocating my range to an exterior wall
Everyone DIY video needs an impromptu trip to home depot. No matter how I prepare.. I never have every tool I need for all the random issues that come up 😂
I just want to mention that installing a straight galvanized pipe will be better than a flex vent. Flex vent will get a lot more buildup and reduce the performance of you hood due to air turbulence.
I am a contractor, and I was very impressed by your initiative and skill. Other than moving away from the valley a little bit further, I agree with this person who recommended that you use straight galvanized to reduce buildup over time and avoid having to do any future repairs... I believe it is also a code requirement.
@@RainbowGuysDIY Of course! Wish you luck with all your future projects. They never end lol. P.S. i did my own as well and it's never fun cutting into the roof.
This most certainly will leak being installed so close to the valley. You can tell by the leaf build up line on the shingles. The flex pipe will also store large amounts of grease and oil from cooking and then leak back down when the pipe heats up after long cooking times. I appreciate the confidence and getting hands on with the improvement you want in your life. I would also strongly advise not doing the roof protrusion with out at least qualified advisement because the error could be catastrophic with many repair trades as the leak continues unknown.
I love guys like him, I expecting his wife would be calling someone like me because the insurance will definitely refused to cover the water damage and a new kitchen. I guess he was too embarrassed to show us he had to disconnect and reconnect the flex from the inside, even though I don't recommend flex . for a job Like that.
Thanks! Did you have to insulate around the vent to prevent condensation? Not sure where you live..Maybe this isn't necessary in places that don't get too cold in the winter or to hot/humid in the summer...
We’re in Portland, OR so that usually isn’t an issue. None of our bathroom vents are insulated either (those were installed before we bought the house). It’s also a very short run, so I wasn’t too concerned about it.
@@RainbowGuysDIY ... I see. Because I live in KS, I'll have to keep looking for a video that includes the vent-insulation step. Thanks for this one! I'm 95% there!
@@abigailarizmendi1261 If you live in an area that gets cold enough in the winter, you need insulated venting or the cold exterior air will chill your vent and any moist air that comes into contact with it condenses on it and can create water damage , mold and/or rot depending on where that condensed moisture drips....how much it drips and how long it takes to dry. I'm not an expert which is why I'm here...but in KS where it gets down into at least the 20's and 30's in the winter, insulated venting is necessary.... Still looking for the right video that shows the protocol. I believe it's very similar to this but that care needs to be taken to not only use insulated venting but to seal any gaps between fan and exterior through which moisture coming up from bathroom/kitchen could enter cold attic and/or rafter bays in a cathedral ceiling.
@@macoeur1122, wow, I had no idea. Me being a woman, I'm not too educated on this stuff but am somewhat handy. I usually learn as I go. I'm fixin to close on a home in a week & 1/2 and plan on remodeling the bathrooms and kitchen as much as I can, on my own, untill I need to call in a professional LOL. I am in Tx and winters get pretty cold here too so that bit of information you shared with me is most helpful and I appreciate it.
Great video. 4:02 seconds…look at the light on the left that is a lot of dust. Obviously, he doesn’t have a helper and is doing the best he can. If you have a helper try to get a vacuum cleaner up there sucking up as much dust as you can while you pull it out.
That is the wrong kind of pipe to use for that type of venting. As soon as a mouse or other rodent gets into your attic and chews a hole through that flex pipe you're going to be venting not only warm air and humidity into your attic (Hello, Mold) but also grease from cooking. This is a fire hazard. Also with a vertical run like that you're going to eventually have an issue with accumulated grease on the inside of that vent liquidifying (sp) in the hotter months and running back down that vent and either A) getting back into your hood or B) gumming up the flap and preventing it from opening.
Mesh vent will loose your cfm of your fan too, also everything else bad that everyone else has mentioned like rodents, fire, it’s a grease trap... definitely not to code.
It sure looks like a "ZLINE Wall Mount Range Hood" - you can search at Home Depot's website, for example. I bought a large one for a house I'm renovating, and the one in the video is very familiar. I assume the one in the video is 36" wide, and current models at Home Depot don't look exactly the same - in the video there are 5 buttons in the center front, while some current ones have 6 buttons, but other than that - identical. The video being 4 years old at this point could well account for the design change with the buttons.
the tirale stays vent installation and that’s the one part you didn’t show. is there an option to vent it straight out if it’s mounted on an outside wall with a 90 degree elbow? what size vent is that?
What would you have done if when you drilled your six inch hole in the ceiling, you hit a ceiling joist dead center of where the vent is gonna be? I ask because I’m gonna attempt this project but fearful of this situation to occur.
I hope you would be able to answer my question. we just built a house two years ago and we are having an issue with our hood that is Frigidaire wall canopy (Just like the one in the video) and has the two vents on the sides on top, and I have steam/smoke from cooking seems to be leaking out of there and sitting on the wall/ceiling! what do you recommend? and what could be causing that? Thank you in advance!
Hint If you do not have a long drill bit, take a stiff metal coat hanger, straighten it out, cut at an angle to the length you need. This will work as a "feeler bit". If it is long, try to hold the hanger in the center to steady it. Long bits can break easily, so this can save you some money
Hiya I’ve recently removed my old one, it had the pipe and chimney plastered and shaped After removal I’ve got the same situation as you do with 2 single shelves on both sides and nothing at a back How would you recommend to decorate this? Anyone else have some nice ideas
Lol, you have no idea how many times I have said the same thing. I am not drilling a hole through the roof, and instead venting it to the attic. The way I see it is if they don't mind the smoke circulating back in the house, then I'm only running it to the attic where it will go back out through the vents on top and side of the house.
@@josephgarcia2979 What?! You better hope there is never a grease fire ... you will get diddly squat in insurance claim once they find out. Do not do this people... not only does this not meet any Building Code it also it very dangerous, it literally discharges airborne grease particles that love to catch on fire..
FYI: Flexible "accordion" ducting creates significant drag, reducing efficiency by restricting air flow, and possibly shortening fan life. Sometimes you gotta, but one should avoid it as much as possible, and if one absolutely must use it, it should only be used for the shortest run possible before transitioning back to (and from) rigid ducting. It may also violate the building code(s) in some areas. The plastic stuff -- even with the fake metallic shiny coating -- should be avoided for all applications; it is not rated for high temperatures, turns brittle over time, and then falls apart from fatigue even with gentlest duty cycles.
Agreed and if you must then use a semi-rigid duct which allows for flexibility yet avoids as much turbulence and grease build-up as a flex duct which is a fire hazard.
Great comment - I really appreciate it as I'm putting in a vent hood soon. Will be a straight shot up through the ceiling and not much roof at all, but still much better to have a smooth, rigid duct.
This was a awesome ! I’m in the middle Of a full kitchen renovation and trashed the microwave range for an actual range hood ! I’m nervous about getting a hole cut I’m my roof but it looks way better than a microwave.
Well, I know it was your first time dude, but you had a top bracket to attach the cover that comes inside first (to that bracket). Then you have to screw the cover that comes outside to the other one. All the mistakes you made will serve as the lessons for other ppl, who are going to install r/hoods on their own. Good video thou, thanks for going out of your way to share.
I would have never used that thin flex line for that install, just asking for problems.. 1 small grease fire will go right through that in 1 second and now your attic is on fire.
And you never ever want to mess with roof valleys... always stay far from them as they carry loads of water and are hard to seal well even without the vent. ...
To anyone watching this video, do NOT attempt in this manner or with these materials. Just about everything this rainbow gentleman did, he performed incorrectly. The flexible ducting will collect grease and be a fire hazard within a year or two, and that roof flange is guaranteed to leak and create roof deterioration. What a mess.
Don't just insult where is your video showing people how to do it. Why not say it's not a good idea to put a hole in the valley it's a guaranteed leak. That is helpful not just a smart a$$ remark that help absolutely no one.
The flexible vent hose you used is a violation of the 2018 International Residential Code which most jurisdictions use for their building code. Here is the applicable paragraph: "M1503.3 Exhaust Discharge Domestic cooking exhaust equipment shall discharge to the outdoors through a duct. The duct shall have a smooth interior surface, shall be air tight, shall be equipped with a backdraft damper and shall be independent of all other exhaust systems." The vent hose you used does not have a smooth interior surface. You might want to correct this if you get a chance.
What would be different if there is a second story on the house? I think we have a bathroom directly above where the vent would be. Could you combine the bathroom vent with the exhaust from the stove? I’m thinking this is way too big of a project for us! lol
events in that matter is a violation of code in most areas. From a practical standpoint, you certainly do not want to run the risk of pumping bathroom exhaust directly into the kitchen! Also, bath fan ducts ate either 3 or 4 inches in diameter, while range hood vents are either 6 or 8 inches. It definitely appears that running the duct through an exterior wall will be your most expedient solution.
Hi Chris! This was so useful and also just really nice to watch, thanks! I have a similar hood in my kitchen and a gap has appeared between the bottom fan part and the top tube part - is there any way to fix it? from you video it looks like I might need to take the top part off and somehow adjust how the bottom is affixed to the wall...?
How to install it on a two story house, we actually doesn’t have one. We have a microwave over the stove, which I totally hate, and behind my kitchen wall we have bathroom so it can’t go outside 🤷🏻♀️
Manufacture does not recommend flexible or foil venting. It's a fire hazard. Insurance also will deny an attic fire claim due to improper venting, especially for B-vent or flue style venting.
jack SUEB we just picked it up at Home Depot. There are lots of different styles typically in the roofing section. I forget what this exact one is called.
“We should be fine…” words that always fill me with dread in any diy project!

This comment got me to subscribe. I’m in the same boat.
One piece of advice too add to this, is never install a penetration in your roof so close to the valley. This is asking for issues in the future.
EXACTLY! Super encouraging video!!!
Thinking twice it good practice
You can do it wrong like this guy. Hey, no problem!
By far this is the best “how to install a Venthood “ video! Because you actually showed how to install the duct.
I totally agree with you Thanks Chris, for giving us all of the visual information necessary
Thank you for showing the outlets
1. You need to have the edge of the hole much farther from the roof valley. 2.Your instalation will leak from the proximity to the valley and from improper flange to shingle/underpayment interface. 3. Flex duct not allowed use only straight wall galvenized duct pipe.

Right, snow and ice sits in valleys making vents susceptible to leaks. You may get away with it if you live somewhere it doesn’t snow much….

thanks for the vid bro im needing to install one above my gas cooker but im just going to vent mine into the ceiling space not through the roof
How did you finish the gap at the ceiling? Part 2?
How do I vent my hood if I have a second floor and my range is not against an exterior wall?
no way to do that unless you chase it in
So, did you not have to install a grate or screen at the roof end of the vent to keep insects or critters from crawling in?
Keep in mind that there is requirement in some states that, if the vent from the dryer is longer then 10ft the exost duct must be solid, not flex. Not sure about vent from the hood, but most likely the requirements will be similar.
Never use Flex Duct !! Venting is reduced by over 50% just by using Flex Duct. Use rigid vent
Flex duct is not code in most states. The ridges trap grease which allows grime build-up and then be a fire hazard. Flex is only for bath and dryer.
I'm sure other have commented on this one part, but in case no one has yet I will give my feedback. You should be using a rigid metal duct and not the flexi-paper-tinfoil stuff.

I suggest before installing your hood that you prep, sand & paint your walls 1st. Nice work 🤙
Damn these videos are freaking amazing!
What if we can't have a pipe going right up like that?
Incredible! Exactly what I needed to see
Never use flex pipe. Traps grease and creates a fire hazard
use the stiff type flex designed for kitchen vents or rigid
Great video, Thank you so much.
great video
Can you please let me know the make and model?
Thanks.You are a hard working man.
FYI: Flexible "accordion" ducting creates significant drag, reducing efficiency by restricting air flow, and possibly shortening fan life. Sometimes you gotta, but one should avoid it as much as possible, and if one absolutely must use it, it should only be used for the shortest run possible before transitioning back to (and from) rigid ducting. It may also violate the building code(s) in some areas. The plastic stuff -- even with the fake metallic shiny coating -- should be avoided for all applications; it is not rated for high temperatures, turns brittle over time, and then falls apart from fatigue even with gentlest duty cycles.
Agreed and if you must then use a semi-rigid duct which allows for flexibility yet avoids as much turbulence and grease build-up as a flex duct which is a fire hazard.
Great comment - I really appreciate it as I'm putting in a vent hood soon. Will be a straight shot up through the ceiling and not much roof at all, but still much better to have a smooth, rigid duct.
This was a awesome ! I’m in the middle Of a full kitchen renovation and trashed the microwave range for an actual range hood ! I’m nervous about getting a hole cut I’m my roof but it looks way better than a microwave.
How did it come out?
Great job! I think I would have painted or tiled behind there first.. but that’s just me…
Nice work bro!
We have the same hood thanks
Out of all the area of your roof, it had to land on the valley! You're brave bro...
no shit, just add some duct work in the attic an move it away from the valley
Well, I know it was your first time dude, but you had a top bracket to attach the cover that comes inside first (to that bracket). Then you have to screw the cover that comes outside to the other one. All the mistakes you made will serve as the lessons for other ppl, who are going to install r/hoods on their own. Good video thou, thanks for going out of your way to share.
I would have never used that thin flex line for that install, just asking for problems.. 1 small grease fire will go right through that in 1 second and now your attic is on fire.
And you never ever want to mess with roof valleys... always stay far from them as they carry loads of water and are hard to seal well even without the vent. ...
To anyone watching this video, do NOT attempt in this manner or with these materials. Just about everything this rainbow gentleman did, he performed incorrectly. The flexible ducting will collect grease and be a fire hazard within a year or two, and that roof flange is guaranteed to leak and create roof deterioration. What a mess.
Right in the valley, nice work 🤣
Don't just insult where is your video showing people how to do it. Why not say it's not a good idea to put a hole in the valley it's a guaranteed leak. That is helpful not just a smart a$$ remark that help absolutely no one.
This guy is a true man.
How much totally for this ¿
I use solid piping
Love it love it love it 💕
Next to roof valley 😂😂😂😂
OMG this guy have no idea 🤣🤣🤣
The flexible vent hose you used is a violation of the 2018 International Residential Code which most jurisdictions use for their building code. Here is the applicable paragraph: "M1503.3 Exhaust Discharge Domestic cooking exhaust equipment shall discharge to the outdoors through a duct. The duct shall have a smooth interior surface, shall be air tight, shall be equipped with a backdraft damper and shall be independent of all other exhaust systems." The vent hose you used does not have a smooth interior surface. You might want to correct this if you get a chance.
Hi, Good video ---- What is the music 14.36 to 15.13? I like that.
What would be different if there is a second story on the house?
I think we have a bathroom directly above where the vent would be. Could you combine the bathroom vent with the exhaust from the stove?
I’m thinking this is way too big of a project for us! lol
GamingBay Channel I’m not sure of your local building code, but there also the option of venting directly out the wall, much like a dryer vent.
events in that matter is a violation of code in most areas. From a practical standpoint, you certainly do not want to run the risk of pumping bathroom exhaust directly into the kitchen! Also, bath fan ducts ate either 3 or 4 inches in diameter, while range hood vents are either 6 or 8 inches.
It definitely appears that running the duct through an exterior wall will be your most expedient solution.
Pretty cool 😎
Thanks
Great video!
never put a vent in the valley
Hi Chris! This was so useful and also just really nice to watch, thanks! I have a similar hood in my kitchen and a gap has appeared between the bottom fan part and the top tube part - is there any way to fix it? from you video it looks like I might need to take the top part off and somehow adjust how the bottom is affixed to the wall...?
Thank you so much. Exactly what I needed ❤️
Okay I think we can handle it now, thanks Dan
How to install it on a two story house, we actually doesn’t have one. We have a microwave over the stove, which I totally hate, and behind my kitchen wall we have bathroom so it can’t go outside 🤷🏻♀️
So everyone’s aware, you can’t use flex vent.
are you sure? no one has said so
@@V.Hansen. I'm sure
Manufacture does not recommend flexible or foil venting. It's a fire hazard. Insurance also will deny an attic fire claim due to improper venting, especially for B-vent or flue style venting.
Where did you purchase the roof vent and what it called may I ask?
jack SUEB we just picked it up at Home Depot. There are lots of different styles typically in the roofing section. I forget what this exact one is called.
This is the best how to install a range hood
Good Job
