Your instructions and pro tips are so clear. I have installed all the inside duct work and connections, and tomorrow will follow every step you described, exactly as you described it.
You mentioned that those vents are nice because they're adjustable, but you failed to fully use the adjustment to get the vent pointing up vertically plumb. Nothing should penetrate out of the roof that is not plumbed up straight. That just looks wonky from the ground.
I don't have any spare shingles, is there another material I could use for that step or do I need to buy a whole pack? Great video. Has given me the confidence to try this myself
I've been having a hard time finding a contractor that is willing to install a roof vent cap to connect to the 6 inch range hood duct already installed in the attic. Just found a sheet metal company that gave me a quote. However, the quote referenced a "roof jack". I've never heard of it so research lead me to your video. May I ask, what the difference is between a roof jack and the more low profile vent caps. Does the roof jack prevent birds, critters, or insects from getting inside?
The purpose for both style vents are mostly the same, only some regions in the U.S. have different rules with what is allowed over heated vents. For example; in central Texas, we are required by city ordinance to have a roof jack over the kitchen exhaust. I suggest you check your local building codes and comply with their rules and regulations.
I had an OC Duration roof put on my house back in middle of Sept. The roofing was done by an OC "Platinum Preferred" contractor. A week after the roofing was done was when I found out the 7 inch roof jack for my range hood exhaust had been replace with new one for a 4 inch duct. My 7 inch duct no longer fit the roof jack. So now I have a square hole in my roof that is cut for a 7 inch jack with a 4 inch jack on it. The 4 inch jack is positioned to one side of the hole. Unfortunately I had already paid the contractor in full by the time I found out. Don't know if I can get the contractor to make it right and remove the 4 inch and put in correct size.

They should.
Do I have to have one of those professional nail guns or can I just use a hammer?
Hammer works too.
