Very nice for DIY . Where did you get the exhaust vent from

Great video, followed his information and gave me a clean install of the microwave. Steps were well documented and right on key. Thanks

Good job bro!!! Thanks you save me some money

Nice job buddy!

Appreciate it the help! Will be doing this my microwave this weekend

Excellent video. Answered all the questions I had. No other video addressed the vinyl siding issue as well as you did. I'm sure this video will continue to help homeowners many years later.

Thank you for thr video, it help me a lot with my installation

Thanks for posting this, I’m in the middle of a kitchen remodel and I was on the fence about venting the microwave outside through my vinyl, but it looks pretty straight forward so I’m gonna do it

Very Smart man, in the kitchen a lot of electrical wires inside the walls..... So Precautions must be taken in every Step...👍👍

Perfectly explained… now if I can get my contractor to learn.

I know in ny state we have a thing called j - channel. Works good for that

Really nice job kid!

Well done

Great video!! I took an extra step where the microwave damper meets the vent, if you can reach in from outside, I used an extended/angled nozzle for my caulk gun and put a bead of metal silicon around the perimeter of the microwave damper this way when I pushed the vent in I got a nice seal.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great job, Daren. It would be very helpful if you list all the material/tools here?

Great video! I installed the same microwave and your tip on making the sheetmetal extension was brilliant and a life saver for me. Thank you for posting this video.

Thank you, Daren! You are the man -- clear explanation.

How did u know where cut the hole with the knife? Did u measure or use the bracket?

whenever i install those , i add extra metal for that metal vent

Is the microwave fan strong enough even with this exterior vent?

Any ideas on how we can stop so much cold air from coming through the inside of the microwave and the vents underneath the microwave? It makes the kitchen very cold.

Hey great video! I did the same set up. But cold keeps coming trough the microwave. And the inside even get freezes. Any advice? .

Great video! Simple, quick, to the point! Great job buddy!

Is the slip fit of the two vent pieces sufficient? I can imagine some steam venting into the surrounding insulation if it's too loose. Also it could help if the plain steel sleeve fits over the other part (and not the other way around), so that the seam faces the same direction as the airflow, if that makes sense. I can't think of a way to make it a solid connection all the way through, and I'm assuming it's not necessary.

nice job.

Not worried about water damage? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnjIl2CXjLiBrK8

I have this same install right now. Did you notice any buckling of the siding as it expanded (lengthend) in the summer months? With the caulk and screws my concern would be that the siding would not be able to expand along the nail channels around the vent.

Thank you for posting! I’m having a issue where a beam runs right down the middle of the hole so I need to do some reconstruction to make this happen

Thank you for the video. This is exactly what I am looking for.

Question : Doesn’t the outside siding gets all greased up if heavy cooking is common? If so can a extension be used to blow it farther away from the wall?

Thanks for posting this video. I'm glad I found it, you covered all the things I felt were left out on others covering this exact problem. Thanks buddy, good job, good shots, good detail.

This is a great illustration. Thank you! I am in the midwest so I am also concern with the insulation and cold air coming back into the house... do you experience that? Also, where can I find one of the tool to lift the vinyl siding? And what is the exact tool to use to cut the siding? Can I just use the reciprocating saw to cut through it? Thanks again!

Should remove the siding and installed a siding block. Then use cut the siding to size and reinstall using J-channel if needed (depending on how you built a siding block) for a proper water seal.

What exterior wall vent did you use?

Great video! I’m in the same boat, moved in to a house and they didn’t vent it outside, even though it’s on an outside wall like yours. My only question is, how did you measure for the cutout? I don’t have the original template and Samsung doesn’t make them available after the fact.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I showed this to our contractor. I have been doing a lot of research for installation of exhaust in our kitchen. It was a high time for me to get it installed with lot of Indian cooking going on at home.

This is the best install I've seen so far on KZbin, when it comes to ensuring that rainwater is directed outward. I like how you basically shingled the vent into the siding. The potential problem Craig Woodcox pointed out with the vinyl siding expanding and contracting might be avoidable by just not caulking or screwing any part to the vinyl, only to what's underneath.

Considering it is close to the soffit area I think your install will work just fine. Good job for DIY’er. However, for others that may tackle this and just for reference, you should not mount any part of the vent to the siding. You should have removed the bottom piece of vinyl siding as well and installed the vent under it too. Then flash and/or seal the vent to the house/insulation. Then put j-channel on and cut siding to fit. J-channel will cover the cut edges of the siding and allow for movement of the siding. Vinyl siding needs to be allowed to expand and contract a little bit. That’s why it’s usually nailed on loosely in oblong mounting holes.

Good job my friend. Thank you. I needed this.

Nice job. You deserve a lot more than 2k views, but I guess most houses already have this installed.

Nice job.

I'm interested in using this method for my microwave range. Question though. Do you notice any grease staining on your siding from the vent? That is my only worry.

This video helped me a lot with installing my range vent hood. Thanks!

Great work and tutorial! I installed this a few years ago and started experiencing outside air penetrating in through the exhaust. I found a damper valve that only allows one way air flow. This took care of my issue. www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-hood-damper-assembly-wb06x10436-ap3206294.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAyp7yBRCwARIsABfQsnTpJsIkeqApn96YMRbBNG-1OuiFqiYWppLQ8SkPIuW4ri4_yKgcZ1MaAooJEALw_wcB
