@@2013TombRaider THIS. ^ Try changing out a vent hood light bulb which turned into realizing the vent pipe wasn't properly sealed and aligned and then having the entire vent pipe fall from the roof because we didn't know the vent pipe was entirely supported by the vent hood itself--the night before Thanksgiving. We laugh about it now, but we had a nervous breakdown at the time. It is now properly sealed, supported, and sucks great. :D

Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...

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.

I assume the PVC trim was simply cut to fit to the closest piece of siding.

@UrbanCheese709 4 жыл бұрын

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.

@joeny1980 2 жыл бұрын

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.

DarkRaptor99 Large hole saws are quite dangerous when you use a strong drill. They get stuck quite often and without power limit on the drill it will rip the drill out of your hands. If you aren't prepared for that event, it can hurt you quite bad. The thing is that you have to keep the hole saw right on towards the surface of the saw cut, then any drill can do the job. Go 2 degrees of and it bites stuck into the material. Then you're happy that the drill is weak.
