This installation had quite a few steps and I thought a thorough rundown of how to do a vertical/roof vented wall mounted microwave / range hood installation would be useful... even though it might not get a ton of views. If you have helpful tips, please leave them down below and if this was helpful, throw a thumbs up! If you're curious how I installed the microwave outlet and circuit breaker, that was my last video, here's a link:

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

Foil tape should have been used to seal the ducts.

It's not circulating air in the house. It's a vent. So, it's not that big of a deal.

Foil tape and don’t forget to tape the long seam where the duct snapped together.

@jezeski2011 5 ай бұрын

A better way to do that ducting would have been to run the round tube down from the roof through the cabinet before putting on the roof vent, so that it would have been one continuous piece, basically.

@evictioncarpentry2628 5 ай бұрын

No, the proper way would have been straight out the back through the wall with zero ducting required. Lol

@evictioncarpentry2628 why is putting it through the roof improper? I understand your preference is to put it through the wall but you didn't explain what the advantages are aside from saved time. Is there a safety issue? Is it a code issue? The comment you're responding to was talking about how to achieve a single length of ducting assuming he did it through the roof like he did.

@puwazatza 5 ай бұрын

Mike, great video as always. If I were you, I'd do one thing a bit differently. You could get a heat resistant vent pipe tape, which is also called aluminum tape. Your duck tape will not be able to stand the heat coming from your soup, steak, etc and it will get super greasy and eventually fail.

@christobar 5 ай бұрын

Yes, the duct tape probably won't last a year

@TheJeracuda 5 ай бұрын

you should've brought the duct tubes down from the attic to the microwave instead of trying to do it from the microwave up it would've probably been easier and means you wouldn't have had to cut it up

@Shmeeeps 5 ай бұрын

There wasn't room in the attic for that length of tube, but if he did it from the roof before adding the roof vent hood it would have worked.

I wanted to watch this again a few days later as I struggled with some details related to my specific install and got some more answers. That nice GAF vent is available at Home Depot SKU # 931439 I had gotten the Menards type which is able to receive 3.25x10 or up to 7” round ducting. What I noticed is that leaves a huge gap between the pipe and roof cap, that I’m just not sure if I am comfortable with. So back to the store! Also very nice show of your skill on the drywall. That is most impressive!

@trentlee9767 Ай бұрын

Should use Ice and water shield to seal around the flashing on the roof vent. That should prevent water leaking through the roof. Putting caulking around the corners of the flashing will allow leaks as soon as the caulking wears out.

@rs72098 3 ай бұрын

Are there fluesnugs available for the top of the cabinet instead of sealing everything with tape? Every video I watch they don't seal up the remaining top of the pipe on the inside of the cabinet. I always have spiders and insects crawling in through there.

@kat7471 5 ай бұрын

Great job for a first timer! Only thing I see is the tape you're using is not designed for ducts. You need to replace it with aluminum duct tape. What you have is duck tape which is not heat or age proof.

@BWeezy-sw1wy Ай бұрын

I’m redoing mine. I used a 4” insulated flex duct but it’s just as loud on low as it is on high. I’m wondering about others set ups and experiences… Do those levels sound different? If so my problem might be with the smaller flow area

@BWeezy-sw1wy Ай бұрын

Could have left the venting rectangular until you were out of the cabinet. Leave more room, then switch to round above it where it’s hidden. I’m stealing the idea of placing a crimped duct seem just a ~6” above the microwave so that the top of the duct can stay ridge if I need to swap out microwaves again. I’m learning I never want to go up in my attic again!

I like how you used rigid pipe. Its required by code on kitchen vents. Don't use gorilla tape. Use foil tape. Provides a better seal from air leakage. Won't peel off over time. All Microwaves are from China but I'd rather have an American/European/Korean brand microwave compared to a "no name generic Lowes special". If you have the option to vent outside, I'd stick with a range hood. The suction on microwaves suck.

@TynerMason Ай бұрын

Just wanted to add my 2¢. When I see these venta-hood microwaves installed flush with the bottom of the upper cabinets, it always irritates me. Families use tall, large pots to cook large meals so, just a venta-hood allows enough height to stir tall pots on back burners. The venta-hood microwave installed like this does not. I would much prefer the cabinet above the microwave be mounted closer to the ceiling to allow stirring of a large back burner pot. I would've installed that cabinet higher than the others. Just my preference.
