Pretty sure that flexible duct is against code for hood vents. Even if its not, use solid duct. Also duck tape is not approved. Need to use aluminum ducting tape.

Weird that he started out using the correct tape, and he showed solid duct. In the end he used flex and the wrong tape.

I don’t believe there is a code requiring gas ranges to be vented inside your home. So likely there isn’t a code regarding the venting of one. I agree that solid duct is always better.

Yes pretty scary to use that cellophane ducting. You're not even supposed to use it on a clothe dryer. Can you imagine a geese fire on the range! Now you have a fire in your cabinet and walls. Duct tape is wrong. Use metal pipe clamps or Red Tuck tape and use a proper exhaust fan vent, not a dryer vent!

Great video! But I believe that range hood is rated for 6" duct work. You also can tell by the scored cut circle on the top of the hood. That might be the reason for the first hood broke so earily, worked to hard. To much exhaust though 4" duct and vent. Other issues some others have already noted no sense in rehashing, some good take aways and great DIY video project!! Maybe this would be a good opportunity for an update and things learned video!!

@@DIYDudes You are correct in advising others to check local codes. For NC this is the requirement: "Range hoods shall discharge to the outdoors through a duct. The duct serving the hood shall have a smooth interior surface, shall be air tight, shall be equipped with a back-draft damper and shall be independent of all other exhaust systems. Ducts serving range hoods shall not terminate in an attic or crawl space or areas inside the building. The air removed by every mechanical exhaust system shall be discharged to the outdoors in accordance with Section M1506.3. Air shall not be exhausted into an attic, soffit, ridge vent or crawl space. Exhaust shall not be directed onto walkways, balconies, decks, breezeways, covered walkways and similar horizontal projections. "

Yours is the first of many demos showing the installation of the damper. When you attached a "starting collar" you did not show applying tape to seal that joint as well. But later, in the video I see that you did so. I noticed your rectangular damper is 3.25 x 10. You probably should have used a 6 inch duct. It looks like you used 4 inch? Very complete. Thank you.

There’s a room behind the kitchen wall too so its not like we can vent it out that way, I’m thinking up is the only way to go but i haven’t learned how to do that yet, or if that’s even a possibility. Thank you for the demonstration. I appreciate any and all tips 🤍

Question: For top vertical venting that has the rectangular or round cutout options - why not just use the round cutout if the duct is going end up round on the other end, rather than using an adapter (rectangular to circular)? Just curious.

The vent for the fan itself is rectangle so you need to go from the rectangle to the circle using a transition. Maybe you could get one that goes straight to circle but this one did not

Why not drill the centerline whole from the inside to the outside - no guess work. A small hole going all the way through the center point then you can drill with a guarantee you are centered. Before screwing it to the side of the house a nice bead of caulk would be helpful.

Its "IRC" code though. That's for everyone. .. I've learned recently that this is being overlooked by alot of DIY'ers and smalltime construction dudes. I think they're all getting away with it because once its covered in the hood, its hidden. -and its one of those things where its like, "i've been doing it like this for years, so it must be right". .. Apparently the issue is that with flex duct, grease will accumulate in the ridges over the years and increase the changes of a fire.@@DIYDudes
