Wall Mount Range Hood Installation

[@-ShootTheGlass-]

I’m here about 9 years after this was posted and it’s helped me greatly! Thanks so much, you have covered everything I needed plus some great tips. 👍👍👍

[@dillonrogers9235]

I love how detailed this is! Having every little step will really help when installing the hood. Not all contractors are this careful when doing the job - very impressive! I feel like it'll be easier than I thought to install the range hood as long as I have the steps in this video to follow.

[@princetonacrugby]

Thanks most for informing me on how to screw into the studs from the inside of the hood. That's a great tip considering my stud was right in the middle of the mounting holes by the duct. THANK YOU

[@liangmaew]

Thanks for the wonderful video. Usually how much is the distance from the top of the cooking stove to the bottom of the hood? Thanks.

[@envise]

Wonderful! To the point. Thanks for pouring out your expertise. The tip on placing tape to mark studs is outstanding!

[@rosgembrun]

Thanks. I am encouraged to do the install with some help here. My stove is up against a short wall between the living room and kitchen. I will have to build a new wall down from the ceiling to hold a wall mount hood. I understand that the hood should be around 26" above the stove top. That will really leave only a small space open. Would it be safe to have the upper wall come down only as far as the top of the hood, as far as the base of the funnel. I have considered an island mount, but they are a lot more expensive.

[@snafujag100]

Excellent video. First one I’ve seen that describes locating studs for secondary screws👍

[@smtiic]

I saw a home on which there is no fume hood and there is a wooden cab above the stove instead i don't know if it has a duct outlet in the ceiling or not if we instal a fume hood

[@eliasragi7472]

Excellent demonstration. Thank you. May I also ask if we can still get replacement control switch, such as for the Dimplex chimney hood, which seems similar, electrically at least, the one you are installing. Thank you.

[@leafinitup1]

Very clear instructions. Thank you. What if there is a stud on the centerline of the exhaust at the ceiling?

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

Vital P.-Then that when the hard part comes in, u will have to open up the wall, and cut two to three pcs. of 2 by 4, and nail/drill the nail, in the already 2x4 and make another Stud, and replace the dry wall /putty/dry/sand/paint/etc. and use that as ur main stud. Type ur question into you tube and a video will pop up and show u how to do it, don't make the question to long, or it will not work.....smdh

[@dedchkn]

i suggest laying a bead of caulking between the back edge of the hood and the tile or wall to prevent grease buildup.

[@BZ1340]

YEP the most difficult part of the install video left out. The attic access and installing the roof exhaust hood. Plus was this a warm weather climate install or a cold winter climate install. Where the duct probably needed to be insulated in the attic

[@saburbanstyle16]

What is the labor cost to get a range installed like this one ? Labor only.

[@farhanyounas6641]

Can you install this same chimney hood under the two top cabinets?

[@dirkramsey7876]

Thanks for the video. I just would have to disagree with leaving any protective coating on the duct panel trim, simply based on the possibility of it melting when hoods are installed over high output cooktops and ranges.

[@juniorjay290]

Thats was just while he cut to the 24 in size. When done definitely remove it

[@mccabinetco]

great video. i like the way he covered the cook top. the plywood is not only to protect the cook but to become work station . .

[@Fat_Catt]

can this be installed for an opening out the wall instead of the ceiling?

[@jimsusancable7488]

Thank you - this is the best video I've found for installing the hood!

[@arthurrivera4230]

Susan Cable me too in 2020 !!

[@pemfiri]

What if the hood holes are not aligned with the wall stud ?

[@RBXXXX]

Perfect. It looks good and this is the range hood I'm looking to install in the remodel kitchen

[@unaturalx]

This is PERFECT for ME!!! The Electrical and the Duct work is done, I just needed to mount the Vent. Great Video!!

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

unaturalx- ur so lucky I have to go duckless/convertible/ carbon filters, to do mind, nothing is done..........smfh

[@tinamoessner9962]

can the chimney be cut short if needed?

[@myleswatson6494]

My fan is loud with a light flapping sound. Does this mean I installed something improperly?

[@luisacanas7806]

I'm still confused on one thing. I hope someone can help. My hood fan came with two extra chimneys. One is solid and the 2nd one has like a grate pattern at the top. If my ceiling does not have enough height for both, do I still have to install both (one inside the other)? Or can I just install one of the two? Likely the one with the grate pattern, for airflow...

[@user-us5lq6sd5r]

How heavy is the under cabinet range hood?

[@ZLINEKitchen]

Good to see these educational videos for customers! Thanks Dennis

[@TheChad412]

I am a technician that has to replace those cover panels every once in awhile for cosmetic scratches but I am not allowed to stand on the countertop. What are you using to stand on while inserting the top screws into the mounting bracket?

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

Chad M= Step stool, from www.Lowes.com or www.HomeDepot.com, $15 bucks, and will lift u safely up to 8ft. with handle, very safe, I use that inside the house instead of a lose latter, too dangerous............smdh

[@bklyn2va2dc]

Nice video. Thanks for posting. I have one question: when you removed a portion of the film from the duct and left the remainder to prevent scratching as you adjust to your correct height, do you leave the remaining film protector on permanently or do you remove it once the height is adjusted.

[@Bedianamight1]

WOw I wish My Guys were as carefull andor organized they scratched up my range and cabinets etc.. I want you to please do my next installaion. Thak you.

[@lordravenscrag]

Mine sounds like a jet taking off no matter the speed. Is that normal and how would I fix it.

[@ryanyoung6437]

Hi, thank you for the video it is very helpful! If my backsplash is going to extend to the top of the cabinets behind the range hood should I measure and install per your steps, then remove and install tile? Would it be best to leave the mounting screws further out or use longer ones and tile around them? I realize you may not be a tile specialist so I appreciate any tips you may have. Thanks again!

[@woohunter1]

I would tile as usual, then just drill holes in the tile with a diamond drill bit, then use cement anchors

[@jairsa1]

Nice video,I have 10” ceiling how I can fit it on high ceilings 👍

[@thejaswal]

Thank you for the neat trick about how to attach the hood to the studs and how to not scratch the top portion by leaving the tape in that’s not visible. In Canada the flex hose isn’t allowed. I used sheet metal elbow to vent out

[@soehgadbois157]

This instruction is perfect for us because the duct work was already there. Thank you !

[@fredmethot6116]

I thought it wasn't recommended to use long section of flex tube for oven hoods as the grease supposedly stick to the sides a lot more than smooth solid duct? Also, if my current hood uses square (rectangle) duct all the way to the rooftop, is there any kind of square to round duct joint that I can safely use without diminishing the PCM rating of that hood? Thanks!

[@XtremeAirUsa]

Thanks for the questions! The stainless steel baffle filters trap the grease so it never makes it to the ducting. Just make sure to clean the filters regularly; we recommend at least every 30 hours of fan use. Solid ducting is preferred, but most customers have to make turns in the ducting so flexible is easier to run. As far as connecting the vent on the range hood to your existing ducting you would have to purchase an adapter similar to this: goo.gl/qeXOK2 the specific one depends on the size of your ducting. Depending on the range hood you get and the size of your rectangular ducting it is likely you will lose suction.

[@Tom-pp4iv]

How about the up to chimney? How?

[@sheshejosey3596]

Great video...to the point and thoroughly explained. thank you for making this video.

[@bbubbulanu]

hi, I have a question for xtremairusa. you looked up for the stud for the bottom screws, however the upper attachment is the one taking the load of the hood. What happens if there is no stud or other solid backing at the level of the upper screws?? Thanks

[@XtremeAirUsa]

Hi there, it's a great question. As you said "the upper attachment is the one taking the load of the hood". This wall mount hood installation, we dont have to worry whether we can find the stud or other solid backing since the screws though the back of the hood will handle the load instead of the upper. Therefore, the upper screw will be come just a secondary instead of primary holding. thank for your comments.

[@arelivela4735]

[@lonetree1941]

He shows the measuring process for cutting off the chimney as measured to the ceiling, says to add 4" and then doesn't show the cutting process and the pre-positioned screw holes are still in the top of the chimney to use to secure it against the top wall bracket. I know I wouldn't want to make the cut down at the joint where it would show - it's impossible to get a perfect cut with metal cutting shears without any crinkling or distortion of the cut edges - so what am I missing? Right now I'm figuring I'll have to make my cut to fit against the ceiling and drill my own screw holes, and then wrap it at the top with some wood stop material as a small crown mold to make a good finish.

[@chenry3]

the inner piece of the chimney slides into the outer piece.... there is no cutting

[@topkhani]

That chimney is telescopic he just slid it out and back to correct length. I am also in a need to cut situation, so far I have seen no clues - wonder if metal cutting scissors will work.DO NOT buy GE.

[@guanglee6253]

very clear instruction and clean installation. Nice little video !

[@JandMPancake]

Excellent summary and visuals of steps involved - thanks!

[@MAGA_USA]

My cavaliere kitchen hood doesn't suck air much.. . very weak. .What part should I check it ? Should it be the exhuast pipe size ?

[@oshitomaha]

How much should this labor cost?

[@eons4short904]

what is the standard thickness of range hood

[@tzthegreat]

According to my building department and the universal building code book, this flex duct is not to code, must use stainless steel, galvanized metal or copper... know anything about this?

[@VictoryRangeHoods]

Only rigid , galvanized duct should be used

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

tyler- home depot sell galvanized, check it out, if their is one in the state ur located at............smdh

[@Cupids-lx5xj]

the hood so light?

[@kwkopecki]

I bought a GE Wall mount range hood. My ceiling is 12 ft high so I need an extension. Can I use a different brand vent hood extension other than GE? Do they all mount similar?

[@arthurrivera4230]

Awesome video guys thank you!!

[@kcculp6430]

Can wall mounted range hoods be vented through the wall instead of through the ceiling???

[@SPQR7117]

Yes- you would just elbow out through the wall instead of going straight up into the ceiling. This of course depends on where in the wall you're trying to penetrate...

[@kcculp6430]

Thanks!

[@BiodegradeableMan]

So you just vent all the hot air into the void between floors?

[@nanodegergies3208]

Thank you very much for your video!!! ❤️

[@camille6365]

what does the vent go? outside of rooftop, or attic? We live at an apartment building and there are floors above us, so where the vent will go?

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

mrdmcnulty- yes they do vent smoke, oil, odors, the more expense one, I brought one, u just have to look around and read all what comes with it....smdh

[@evakaye4897]

Great video.. very helpful..Thank You

[@cliffcarlo180]

Nice looking cooker hood but sadly far too low. How many of us taller cooks are gonna crack our heads each time we lean in to check our pots on the rear burners.

[@emilyjohnson8886]

Thank you for the video - it was very clear and helpful!

[@elgatillo863]

How much power does this hood draw?

[@Keepskatin]

The same as a high powered marijuana lamp

[@CG-qc1ob]

Best explanation ! Thanks

[@fuadhuskic234]

Hi that’s the very knowledgeable thank you very much it’s more easier than l think thanks again

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

damn he made that look simply and easy to do, I was readying the installation booklet and it made it seem like a nightmare to install.............smfh

[@mrsjohnson3012]

Thanks for the video!!

[@wta9111]

Anyone know how to reset the CFM. The builder set at 290 and local law is 400cfm, I need more exhaust. The changing the jumper on the circuit board doesnt work after initial install. I even replaced the circuit board, but the cfm needs to be reset on the motor somehow.

[@Westley-H]

Thank you so much. Great video

[@aamirsales99]

My kitchen chimney hood have the problem after 2 or 3 minutes of start its start making noise (motor noise) what is the solution? Thanks

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

aamir s.- u need more screws, it has to fit tightly slow that the noise and rambling is reduced.......smdh

[@jamescc2010]

Can I install one with glass tile already installed on the wall?

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

james yes, but u will have to drill through ur tiles, or if u wish u can just remove the ones behind it before u drill to the wall. not sure how good that is going to look, depending on the tile formation and description/design/etc.

[@solerf13]

Ouch, flex hose used?receptacle right behind duct instead of hard wiring it.?other than that i liked the video.

[@larrybittner611]

I AGREE, NO !!! FLEXIBLE DUCT, OIL AND GREESE WILL GET CAUGHT IN THE CORRUGATIONS, LEADING TO A FIRE HAZARD !

[@charelW]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@edbtzkhud]

How convenient to have an electric outlet perfectly centered.

[@Dachsiegrrrl]

Thanks! Super helpful.

[@javiergomez4069]

was is the estimate cost for a professional to do that

[@XtremeAirUsa]

Thank you for your question. We do not offer installation so we could not give you an estimate. We can tell you that it depends on your home. If you already have the ducting run (and venting out of the roof or through and exterior wall) and a cap in the end there will be less work to do. If ducting has to been run, especially if it is not straight up and out through the roof, it will be more. We would suggest looking up local appliance installers or contractors in your area. www.angieslist.com is a good place to try since service providers should have ratings from past customers/

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

Javier-U don't want to know.............smfh

[@Chipcom2006]

Why to install it at 26" minimum? Can I install it at 20"" instead?

[@alimohsin2188]

can I use range hood on 7' short ceiling

[@XtremeAirUsa]

Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend the PX01, PX04 or PX06 Wall mounted models for shorter ceiling heights.

[@TerrieCarter]

This really helped! Thank you!

[@michaelclisby4704]

My lights on my range hood do not come on anymore. How can I fix it?

[@buildingsupplyco]

Replace the bulbs.

[@ZLINEKitchen]

Replacing the bulb is a good first step, and if that fails then you may need to replace the light transformer. Could be a warranty issue depending on who you purchased the hood through.

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

Michael C.-Blowed out bulbs.........R U serious?????............smfh

[@divyajnana]

Great video, thank you.

[@lajocymbalski7589]

Nice video. I am in China and the Chinese workers short cut everything which normally creates a lot of unnecessary errors.

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

lajo- just follow you tube, and u cant go wrong, I'm almost done with remodeling/renovating a small home, and whenever the builder/contractor or myself got stuck on something, we looked it up on you tube and got the answer...smdh

[@keith_dixon]

A tarp and a plywood protector? Is the range anchored to the floor?

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

keith D.- No need to anchored the range to the floor, the damn thang don't have "fuking" wheels on it. And he wasn't going to stand on top of the range. Are U for real??????..............smfh

[@colincao6747]

very clear and very helpful!

[@onthedry8386]

can i fit this with out the ducting etc just filters and how

[@mrs.berniemadoff3324]

uon the dry- u don't need the ducting if you are only doing a inside mount, u will need the kit to switch it to inside, which is more easy to install. It comes with instruction, or u can look it up on U tube.......smh

[@stanleymaria7554]

Thanks for the video...very neat.

[@wrestlingindia3309]

[@alvarolever2448]

thank you, fortunately i've found that ceiling bracket inside the hood

nice video. .Thank you

[@cesarcacayan6916]

Why is the power supply dire

[@cesarcacayan6916]

Power supply is located directly behind the exhaust duct instead offset to the side. Why the height is 26 in😊hes not 30 in😊hes above the stove top.
