Brick isn’t the concern, yes it’s kinda hard but still doable. The real problem occurs when you pull the whole thing up the ceiling and through the roof like mine is. I got 12 foot ceiling and another 10 foot attic height.

I watch someone else's they were using all PVC and I started thinking if there was a grease fire it would seem to me that it would be metal and that's why I searched for This Old House thanks for leading me the correct way as usual, you guys rock ~☆ 's
PVC is good for bathroom exhausts not for kitchen. I think there are DIYers who see a way something can be done and apply it to all facets of jobs. But you’re right, This Old House always leads in the right direction, hence why I’m here.
I have installed hundreds of hoods similar to this, 23 years worth of hoods. The damper everyone is commenting on is attached to the hood. It isn't shown in the video but the metal boot that is directly attached to the hood and has the warning sticker on it at the end of the video has the damper in question. However, they couldn't attach the duct cover to the bracket at the top of the wall with the crown molding in place. The molding will have to be removed to attach the screws to hold the cover to the bracket.
dude who do I call to install one of these? I've called multiple hvac companies and no one wants to do it. my range hood is facing an exterior wall too.
Thank you for the tip on installing the vent to the outside of the weather board. I couldn't find the right way to do it but after watching this video, you solved my problem.
Nice video, although it seems like something is missing from the beginning. I was hoping to find a video of a range hood with ceiling/roof exhaust, though, so I'll keep looking.
Great video, The only thing I should point is that for best performance the distance between the hood and the stove should be between 26-30 inches, otherwise you would loose efficiency. Especially when the range comes with the back panel, pushing the burners further out.
Good point. That vent looks to be about 3.5 feet above the stove. Not ideal, but better than nothing. He should address these tolerances, even if he can't adhere to them.
This is WAY too high. For Gas its a max of 30 inches (75 cm) and electric 26 inches (65 cm) so not only has she paid for installation, can't reach it, it won't work anyway! It's lucky you Yanks have houses made out of wood - in Europe, it's not such an easy job!
I'm installing a new kitchen hood vent to replace a microwave/vent combo nonsense. There was a poorly placed vent that I need to remove, and I see that there is a metal box between the studs. Is this necessary for the new vent? In your video, isn't it a fire hazard if the vent output it directly touching insulation otherwise?
So he showed sliding in the vertical vent cover and then slid it up to the ceiling but never showed what kept it in place up to the ceiling? What held it from sliding back down?
Your PVC trim board fit perfectly under the bottom (part that protrudes the furthest) of the siding. Was that just luck? Seems to me that you should drill a small hole from inside to get close, then go outside and position the trim board appropriately, then drill your 6 inch hole precisely where you want it. If your hole would have come out an inch or 2 higher the job wouldn't have looked nearly as clean. If I tried your way 10 times I doubt I would have gotten as perfect as you did even once.
That pvc trim could have been made any size to accommodate. I'd guess it's wasn't a coincidence, probably measured to the nearest siding and sized the trim to suit.
What do I search to find something like that piece of pvc trim you use? The link takes me to an Amazon search that comes up with a bunch of peel and stick weather strip. When I search I get a bunch of pvc trim boards. I’ve been looking into how to do this for a long time and everyone just butts the outside vent to the siding and barely seals anything. What you do here seems like the best solution to sealing a vent coming through vinyl siding but still can’t even find a part that does something similar to what you have there
We call them a siding blocks. Looks like the industry term is something along the lines of “siding mounting block”. If you’re handy you can make a custom block by cutting a piece of solid PVC board (commonly called AZEK) to your desired size and drilling the appropriate hole
What did he put on top of the hood's air outlet? I'm in a predicament where the air outlet of my hood is too close to the wall to attach to my elbow, and it looks like whatever that is would solve my problem.
What I have above my stove is a cross ceiling exposed beam. I need to either attach a hood to the underside of beam or side then vent horizontal out the wall.
Hello I'm looking forward to fix a new kitchen. My hobb is at the inside wall. So I am not able to duct out my hood directly outside. So I have to take it through my double garrage, which will be too long. Does it give a proper effect? Some of the fitters say yes some no. Please give me a proper guidence. I am really worried about it.
With ya 110%. I'm a homeowner not a contractor. My cordless dewilt is great when new but batteries never seem to have the capacity needed for a job like that.
I have a problem because we have a two story home and the stove is not located to the outside wall. The ceiling isn't an option because we bought the house and we dont know exacty where all the wiring, vents and pipes go through. The AC vent is close to the stove area.. We have high cabinets, would it best to drill 6 inch holes inside all the cabinets until it leads outside, or over the top of the cabinets in the open to the outside wall? Any help would be appreciated.
Can anyone clarify a relatively minor point, please. At around 3:10, or so, when they slip the inner duct into the other, that's firmly in place...the next action they take is to TAPE that connection. I get that rationale, I've used lots of duct (the actual stuff) tape. However, I see the piece slip into the other (basic male/female connection) and that connection is inside the wall. I don't see how you'd even have access to tape that connection. Am I blind?

How did you stop the inner sleeve sliding back down? On all the rangehoods I've looked at they screw into a bracket near the ceiling but there's no way to get to it without removing a lot of cornice and you didn't show that part.

Same here, funny to see your comment was posted just 15 hrs ago... I have a vent under the microwave above but it’s pointless & I’m tired of cleaning grease off of my cabinets and ceiling!
@@vdussaut9182 I think you're going to have to run some horizontal duct then. Through a soffit, or cut through cabinets unfortunately. I'm in the similar scenario.
Nice job this is the first time I watched your video I need to install a vent Hood But my stove it's not next to the outside wall direct but there is a kitchen cabinet above and between the stove and outside wall any Idea for extension Accessory through the kitchen cabinet?
None required. Hoods typically have an electrical junction box mounted directly on them from the manufacturer. The romex is protected by the hood enclosure, so there’s no need to switch to conduit or MC coming out of the wall over to the hood junction box
Can someone tell why he’s hitting with the side of the hammer at 1:00 ?Not judging his decision to use the side I’m sure there’s a very reasonable explanation im just not seeing it on my own.
Alex Tong your range hood exhaust should have a flap in it. the flap only opens to let air out. it'll close when the exhaust fan is not in use to stop cold air going in.
Pro Tip: when drilling the vinyl siding with the hole saw, drill in *reverse* to avoid shattering the siding.
Tom did this correctly
Thanks for the tip!
Actually no
Drill fast in forward direction, but keep the feed speed very slow
Source: me, I'm an HVAC contractor
To Walters playground. How does one go fast in forward direction but slow In feed speed , please ???
@@nileremsing3382 have you ever done machining on a lathe? no? well I did

is that block specifically for this or is it called something else. Trying to find it

If you do more than boil water, you should add some skirting(metal protection around vent exhaust). Much easier to clean than your siding.😉
Don’t the filters in decent range hoods catch the grease?

Good point. That vent looks to be about 3.5 feet above the stove. Not ideal, but better than nothing. He should address these tolerances, even if he can't adhere to them.
When the fan isn't on, aside from perhaps a thin piece of metal what keeps the heat from escaping through that ductwork?
All good... until the end when she realises it's way too high and she can barely reach it. LOLZ

I have a question? For connecting the vent hood to the microwave just foil tape?
So is this considered hard wired? I’m trying to figure out how it plugs in and stays behind the chimney cover
Great video. Worked out perfect. Due to flexible hose would pick a siding seem from outside first.
Anyone know where I can find that square piece of PVC trim he used to make the outside vent flush

There's almost 19" of contact on a 6" hole saw, Tommy was really fighting with all that resistance.

Jigsaw, or recipe saw if you're careful.
These videos are so cool, but in reality the jobs aren’t this simple. I guess it’s a good push in the back to give it a try your self.
It's not clear to me how the mounting brackets are installed. If you don't happen to hit a stud are your just hanging this thing with wall anchors?

A Porter Cable? Nice.
Are you allowed to cut part of a stud out without reinforcing it? I'm sure it'll be fine, but I am curious if that's allowed by code.
Actually just did some research - you can notch the side of a load bearing stud a max 25% of the width, or drill a hole up to 40% of the width.
Hmm, that wos a lucky driling, just under the sideing lip😉
I assume the PVC trim was simply cut to fit to the closest piece of siding.
