In the world of DIY microwave-exhaust-fan videos this one got me though the project step-by-step painlessly. (If I had to hear one more guy drone on about how to flip the fan around on the microwave for external exhaust I was going to gack.) Great video. Very informative. Thanks for posting!
Except, like many other You Tube videos, this gives bad advice. Building codes specify smooth galvanized steel, copper or stainless tubing for kitchen exhaust. Flex tubing is not used.
Thank you so much. I looked at quite a few DIY installing the microwave and then a vent. This was by far the best one. Had to watch it few times as I am a little slow sometimes!!! Blessings to you Brother!!!
Hi there, I actually replied on my daughter's email. Can you change that to my email please and take her off this thread? I really do not know how this all works. Sorry about the hassle. 1Tazman32@gmail.com Thank you!!!
I've seen a lot of these microwaves and none of them ever vented outside, nor did they ever get filter replacements. They just gave the illusion of ventilation. So seeing one actually vent outside, is just incredible to me.

Question: Isn't it better to use a rigid galvanized steel pipe for venting thru the cabinet and another in the roof attic? Wouldn't there be less hinderance and smoother flow this way?....
Yes, the standard smooth pipes always be better. But reasonable only if the air line has some turns, elbows. But its hard to connect especially between some existing pipes or roof cap like in this video. I used flex pipe becouse it straight to the roof, and nothing stops or turbulence the air. Thanks for watching my channel 😀
I normally run 4"x12" wall stack duct threw the cabinet and then use a 4"×12"to 4"round boot in the attic . Then box the duct in the cabinet off so you don't see the duct . Also hear in Michigan I put a foam seal between the microwave and cabinet so cold air doesn't leak out and believe me it will here . I had to go back and fix it .
Hey man thanks for the video. I have a question. I don't have an attic upstairs. I have a bedroom right above where the vent should be directed. What options do I have? Right now all the air from the vent is being released inside the kitchen. Thanks
Its depend on wall or ceiling constriction, joist position. Some times its passable to get thru the ceiling and after sheetrock turn to the outside wall, some times directly in to wall behind the stove.

Thank you so much for this! Can you comment on how well the microwave exhausts out, after having done this project? Or can you do another video of you cooking something and turning it on? Thank you so much!
No, it doesn't work very well. No microwave can work perfectly, it is impossible to capture all the air through a tiny hole under the microwave. The best way is to install a standard hood.
@@FixitAll Thank you for replying. That helps me. I am in an apt and was thinking about somehow retrofitting something like you did to work with a window....it sounds like there simply won't be enough sucking power, right?
@@tomatojuice12 no, its not about power. The problem under microwave. There is a two square "filter" to catch the air. That's a problem even if your Micro has o ton off power fan.
@@tomatojuice12 The hood is arranged like a big funnel where air, steam, smoke rises. The microwave does not have this rim around, and the steam goes past.
Здравствуйте. Я видел что некоторые обворачивают стекловатой. Но у нас это редко встретишь. Как таковых морозов нет здесь и мне сложно что либо конкретнее посоветовать.
GE - General Electric это американская фирма. Но она тут скажем так на 50% популярна. Сколько я устанавливал, то люди пользуются Samsung, LG и др. Так что по своим функциям нет особой надобности искать GE.
Sir, how much does it cost to have an independent contractor to do this kind of work? We have an above the oven microwave which is relatively new but does not do a good job of the exhaust. Basically pumping smoke back to your face :)
@@FixitAll Thank you for such a quick response. Our range is very close to the windows and I am planning to get the ductwork to go to the side of the house through the cabinets. I appreciate the information on labor costs. Again, nice video on how one can do it by themselves.
Can I just say, your video was very informative. I had watched 10 videos prior and this by far was the best. Thank you :)

I agree, this video was exactly what I needed to gauge how difficult the job will be. You did great! now it's my turn 😬
You can do it !!!
Great video! Well done. I’m off to tackle ours now.
Great Job, I'll do the same for my over-the-range microwave
Good job my man !! Just did one today and that attic was hotttttttt!!!!
Oh yeah, there is a sauna this days.

Thank you!
thank you
Great Job !!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Great Job.
Thanks!
Don’t use flex duct ever! It collects grease and causes turbulence. Use stainless or galvanized steel ducts with articulating elbows to make turns.
This is the pipe that came with my microwave. What pipe do you recommend instead?
@@girlmastergeneral OP didn't use flex duct. OP used semirigid. Flex duct causes serious issues that semirigid does not.
Nice video
Thanks

Any screw length 3/8" - 1/2" only to the plywood thickness, so no worries about waterproof.

Not for microwave, cook top only.
