I can tell you right now, most, if not all? I range hoods require metal duct work.
Edit. The low end model z line says you can use plastic but their higher end one needs metal. From their instructions. Now if this is really the high end zline then he should have used metal duct work. I guess I've never seen plastic because I've always installed higher end models. Lmao
Also after seeing him use the wrong size plastic and then sealing it with expanding foam, I don't know if you should follow this guy's instructions.
Duct tape is a real thing that is supposed to be used for this and it's, not just tying people up. Using spray foam to seal duct work is not code anywhere.
Total HACK JOB! everything you said👍
Aluminum tape is needed, not duck tape.
Jeff for siding penetrations for a cleaner look, use an exterior mounting block that matches your siding color, it eliminates the risk of leaks where you were shown caulking also stops relying on caulk to stop water intrusion, it mimics the blocks that they use on lap siding (without scribing) your siding butts up against it for a clean install. If I remember correctly, Electrical code requires all boxes to be secured.
Also, what about the seal to the air barrier?
Or a 2-piece wall vent with an integral J channel backer. I think from Builder’s Edge on Amazon? 4 years later, Jeff makes a video showing how to easily unzip vinyl siding too in order to repair damaged pieces, install penetrations neatly, inspections, etc.
Am I the only one that thinks using non-metallic ducting is a code violation?
Why in the world would you use that plastic ducting, ?🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wouldnt let nobody install any corrugated flex tubing in a kitchen seems like it would cake up over time. Just a personal preference. And id rather have that socket where its accessible
Exterior cut n vent hood is a mess. Unsecured outlet as well.🤦🏻
The price on this thing is outrageous for only 400 CFM on MAX fan speed. You claimed it was 400 CFM on low, which is false information. If you have more than 4 burners, and actually cook, you need 900 CFM or you’re just wasting time. With the range hood that high above the stovetop, and at only 400 CFM on max, throw a ribeye on the sear burner and watch that kitchen turn into a smoke box.
The exterior vent Hood was installed like a rookie, they make a square one inch thick flange with the hole for the vent pipe to eliminate the flat flange to the siding which will eventually leak.
Eventually? It will leak IMMEDIATLY … should have been a block with j channel installed … I havre canal siding anyway but ….. smh .. he does a decent job normally
The best part of this fellow teaching you is that he makes no presumptions about your skill set and doesn't treat you like an idiot. Big big fan of that.
Doesn't the exhaust pipe need to be a non flexible material? Won't grease and condensation develop on the ribs?
You are 100% correct.
Plus, I would be worried using what appears to be a plastic exhaust pipe. Not good in a potential grease fire.
This is why this guy is a hack and a complete idiot. Don't watch his videos. The reviews of his work online are also alarming.
@@view05nys I was thinking the same thing. It comes with the fan so it must be ok. Most of the grease gets trapped before the vent pipe.
@@view05nys thats not plastic.. its PVC.. gotta be fire resistant..
As a handyman, every time I have an install of an appliance that I've never done before, I'm grateful to have Uncle Jeff to show me how to do it!
A piece of advice would be not follow this guy.
@@tylero8595 why are you here then, weirdo?
How much would you charge to install this @Jake-hp5hq
But, the herringbone is centered on the hood
What a mess this install is. YUCK
This guy is so knowledgeable! But my god! His personality is incredibly irritating.
Looks super sloppy.
From start to finish!!!!!
Flex duct is usually frowned upon for a kitchen vent because the excess grooves trap more grease which could be potentially dangerous
in actuality this hood fan has a grease collection system and a removable grease trap for cleaning. Cheers!
Seriously, no grease trap will be sufficient to stop a exhaust fan fire. This should be a solid pipe with a no grease trap in the pipe
I've heard the same, rigid metal
Aluminum or stainless semi ridged is what I tend to use. Also I sleve w pipe insulation threw the wall. None the less great video and some good tips . Also toggle bolts on bracket and lower part of fan (just above grease filters ) .
Even if the code allows flex (which ours doesn't), check if the hood installation manual allows it. The inspector may request to see it. (They did for our dryer to prove the length was OK)
Check out “this old house “ video for how to install professionally the exhaust vent from outside...
Here it’s looks like a handyman job..no offense please.
Does this not need to install into a stud?
Great video but..... using a tape measure as a hammer?🤦🏼 Come on man... Lol
The ducting vent on the outside could of been a lot better than it looks
So you are just going to leave that electrical outlet floating there? I'm pretty sure that is illegal in most places. Do it right and put it in a box properly attached to the wall!
No blocking? Really?
a little scary with the plastic flex duct 😲 ....vent should be sheet metal
Another fantastic video Jeff. Just love his video's! I do have a question about using plastic venting in a hood though? Is it a special type of heat rated plastic or a Canada code? I've heard we can only use solid metal ducting in the US now...
Yep... was just about to mention ask about that as well. Here in the US, you have to use the galvanized steel duct work for those. Evidently they are more efficient too, since they're smooth and product easier air flow as well. I ended up putting in blocking though to give the hood something meatier to secure to, though. Also, I did a make-up air system, just because why not? Ironically, I have the exact same z-line hood for my youtube project studio as well. Comes in handy that I can just use Jeff's measurements. haha!
Sloppy work!
Why wouldn't you use a hole saw
Horrible work
23:45. Lol. He said he's a, "safety second," kind of guy. We knew that since the black eye. Hahah
Best episode. It’s the one that hooked me and my wife. Especially since he refused to explain the black eye the entire video… we had some hilarious theories going, but according to a followup video, it ended up being a “basketball accident”
What a hack job. And you are not supposed to use that flex pipe for a hood.
Watching that plug box flopping around makes me itch something fierce, wow. I know it's not actually dangerous but still.
wonder what ESA might think about it 🤔
It’s out of code.
I can’t believe your code allows plastic duct in a kitchen exhaust fan... if there is a flash fire 🔥 the house burns down!
fortunately fires don't just happen.
Seeing you bury that plug is super scary as an electrician especially considering you spray foamed around it, next time hard wire the cord end instead of using a plug then put a switch lower down for your disconnecting means
If you were an electrician then you would know that a hood fan duct is removable and as such the plug is not deemed to be inaccessible.
I wrote to zline and they said the elbow should be 15" above the motor.....
Where I come from, you can't use a plastic duct for a stove! Fire hazard! It must be all metal!
Agreed. I would've spent the extra bucks for all rigid snap lock pieces 👌😁
I thought flexible ducting was not recommended since it collects grease.
good point! hope he responds to ur comment
I wonder if the grease trap limits the amount of grease. It came with the hood so I'd imagine z line must know.
corrugated pipe for greasy air is not good
Plastic range hood ducting?!! Plastic?! That doesn’t seem right.
Can't imagine it's to code..
@@pfak Maybe in Canada. In the US it has to be rigid pipe.
@@moonpiespotlight4759 Canada has higher standards than the US
Why not use a 6' hole saw for a clean fast and professional cut??
12:45 Why are you drilling at an angle? is there any reason?
Yes, in order to drill through tile with a diamond hole saw, you start drilling at an angle - otherwise the hole saw will slip all over the place.
@@maxbosley53 thanks for your reply :)
Call me crazy but once you cut down the metal duct you could have pushed the flexible through and attached to the metal, taped it well and pushed it back through before screwing and caulking the vent. Is it not that necessary to seal that well? Seems like it’s just stuffed in and then foam. With moisture I’d think you want a seal with tape. Ty for all your amazing videos, best channel in TH-cam.
I do have one question about venting out the side of the house. I saw one video you did the same for a bathroom vent. I tried to have one installed, as an electrician I ran the electrical, but hvac dude told me don’t vent out the side because the moisture will go up into the eve and cause rot. Wanted to charge a ton to go through attic and roof.
Is there any concern with this?
That extractor is so ugly.
holesaw with pilot bit?
Ah yes! Thee old tape measure hammer trick. #SALUTE ! Lord knows I've done that @ times
For those watching they make a vinyl siding flange that frames the vent for a much cleaner install plus it's shingled properly. Caulking fails eventually so make sure to shingle your exterior penetrations.
I was thinking the same thing. I would have done it the way he did it but knew I was sort of butchering it.
no worries Mike, i get the whole seal it up tighter than drum approach but this house has 3" of exterior wood that can handle the occasional rain drop finding it's way behind the siding and typar. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Your house might be fine, but it would just look better. Only takes a few minutes to trim it out cleanly and install behind the siding.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY won't last and it's a half ass way to do it. Also, too much foam insulation is not good. Insulation works better if not packed too tight.
Can I get a link or photo of the flange you’re talking about?
I just purchased a zline hood vent and man their install instructions SUCK. I am glad that you made this video. It will make my installation much easier.
I'm scared of plastic ducting like that in a wall... Lol i must buy cheap junk for my dryer... I'm sure the heat cycles destroy it... I'm sure anyone reading this knows what i mean. Dryer duct is metal now.
I did my kitchen with similar style hood. however i added a 2x4 as a backing as the wall anchor will become loose one day. Because at high speed the fan does vibrate a bit and will vibrate , and the wall anchor will fail.
Pong Pong Piano snap-toggles are perfect for this. But would need to splurge on a half-inch diamond bit.
that works. you can also remove the grill and set a screw into the stud an the interior of the fan housing if needed. cheers!
Don't necessarily agree that ZLine defines a quality appliance...
Is the zline still working? So many bad reviews of their products
GABBEWOOD TV 👍
Lots of great physical installation pointers BUT.....according to the 2020 NFPA-70E code, Article 422.16 (4)(4) requires the receptacle supplying power to be "accessible", on a separate circuit and the cord length can only be a minimum of 18" up to a maximum of 48". Seems most manufacturers fail to address this electrical power requirement.
you didn't say how do you determine the height from the stove? looks like 8ft ceilings, so do you just install from the top? the height from the stove doesn't matter?
Your siding cut out was not pretty and you should never use flex pipe on stove exhaust. also relying on caulk to stop rain is never a good idea.
Nice video, you always do it right maestro ..
Does the hood range have to be on a dedicated wire and breaker or can I add a refrigerator outlet with it
My heart jumped when u slid the ladder a few inches over!! 😬
The notor stopped working. I sent zline pictures of the circuit board with VISABLE PART NUMBER.
They keep sending automated email replies asking for the same information over and over again.
Absolutely no help at all. I threw the Z line junk in the garage. Buyer beware.
QUESTION: is it compliant to have the device plugged into a receptacle that is behind the vent decorative chimney? It is “accessible” by removing the two set screws I see. I am probably not alone installing one of these trendy wall mount style in an otherwise “as-built” kitchen by removing a crappy old recirculating vent hood and the 12” tall bitty wall cabinet above and replacing with one of these beaut’s. The receptacle (formerly in the cabinet and accessible by just opening the cabinet) will be…idk…sketchy now?
Where did you get those tiles on the wall? My wife loves them.Is there a certain name to them?Please advice.
Can I use aluminum flexible duct ? Or does it have to be rigid straight pipe ???????? HELP
Hey folks, if you could help me out here.
Recently I bought a house and on my appliances appointment I choose 600 cfm chimney hood but the guy who help us to choose appliances he said i can not get the more than 300 cfm so he made a note to someone to cut 300 cfm. So once I moved in my new how to get back that blocked cfm. He said you can do that after you move in your home.
Your help will be appreciated.
Hi I'm thinking of purchasing the same Z-Line but for 30". I know they're all 400 CFM & I was originally interested in 500CFM. So like you I'm interested in upgrading the 30".
How did you do that? Using a Make-up air device?
Also using the tape to bang those Molly's in was too funny cuz i do the same thing!! Lol
Thanks again for the great video!
That flex plastic pipe is really atrocious, I'm sorry but i would never have installed something like that
Did you reinforced the wall with a piece of wood before screwing the two bolts holding the motor part? Or just screwing in the ceramic tile and drywall? I need to install one of these in a week and I know there's no piece of wood behind my wall only drywall...Thanks!
are you doing anything for "make up air" with this range hood?
9:07 hate using caulk getting it everywhere lol. but what else can you do?
After watching this video, I am confident that I will need a contractor to do this for me
lol
I’m concerned you are not wearing eye protection
So I’m in the process of installing the same model and basically the same ductwork measures. Zline says the preferred duct distance between the top of the hood and the first elbow is 15”+. It looks like yours is a lot shorter. Have you seen any negatives with the short rise?
400 CFM... replacement air is going in where? Plastic vent tube?... that can't be used in Canada for a range, right?
19:20 believe me I KNOW! I understand why there was a cut in the video I sat on the couch for a good 10 min until it actually went in
Did he drill the mounting screws into the drywall or was there studs behind the two screws? If drywall as those yellows plugs strong enough to hold??
Hi , I've the same unit , the motor started grinding and squealing after 13 months , the bearings sounds dry , some days it ok then other times it sounds like it wants to blow up ! Sadly Canadian tire pushed me to the manufacturer and then now that company no longer makes them so they say ! I guess a lesson learnt that Canadian tire buys and then sell stuff that they know the buyer will not have warranty or support for their stuff ,,, well in my case I'm out of hood fan , the lights work tho
Sad stuff
Hi, can I stall those support screws into just Gyproc with anchors? Don’t I need to put wood brace behind gyprock??
Best Reno channel in the whole world. Love you man.... Thanks. :) Hello From Alberta
LOL!!! You start off by saying don't cheap out on appliances and then proceed to hack together the install...wow.
Do not use plastic duct on a range hood Only galvanize steel
I just installed one of these. The blower moving the air out, I see the flaps on the house vent swing wide open… however it isn’t providing much suction at the bottom of the hood. Is this how these hoods work ?
Nice job. But at 26:50 there is a gap on the front left corner of the hood. That would drive me crazy looking at it all the time.
Dear OB1. LOL. Do you have a video about install a hood vent on a island stove in a 2 story home. So vent has to go up then horizontal. Not through second story. I am trying to decide which 48" hood vent to buy.
You forgot to Wear your Eyeglass Protection, since you are Cutting Exterior Metal Siding.
I have to laugh because the old Jeff would have torn open that wall and said, "My God, look at this idiot, he didn't even fix the outlet to the wall, sheesh!!" Glad the new Jeff is less judgemental.
I want to install vent to suck out moisture from cooking food and the wall is a block wall over stove no drywall, I know how to cut holes, I don't want to go up and out attic; I was thinking I'll have to buy a fan and extra piping I have electric right there for pluging in or I can hard wire any ideals on which fan? Thanks in advance
I’d love to see an instal on a ductless island hood vent!
man my neighbours downstairs in an apartment building cook and smoke in their home and all the smokes come to my apartment through the range hood, what to do . i even installed two non return flaps , our hood goes through a 110mm duct to a main collective duct of 300mm vertical duct. it seems like their fan is blowing so hard
Flexible ducting for kitchen vent scares me as it will eventually trap the grease along the perforation..
Okay can anyone please tell what do I do because I bought a new just like he is installing with an outlet plug but my wall only has wired because my old range that I took off was wired to the range and I don't know anything out wiring!! Please help I need it up asap
I'd like to share my valuable experience. My hood came with some really nice metal screw-in type anchors. These normally work very well for me on a variety of applications, but when I got to the part where you install the cover above the hood they pulled right out of the wall, and down came the hood. My advice is to take any plastic or metal drywall anchors and throw them in the trash. Make a bigger hole and use some nice toggle bolts to save yourself some grief. Better still, for a real permanent, quality job, pick out your hood, measure it out on the wall, cut the wall open, and install a 2X4 across where the hood mounting screws go.
I am dealing with this now. I used the supplied anchors with my hood fan. They are larger than these and are pulling out a little from the wall in my case so there is an annoying gap behind the duct cover. I just missed the stud on one side so I am thinking to take the cover off and screw into the stud at an angle.
If you read Zline instructions they say wood anchoring is preferable
Are you available for hire? I want to update my 1974 kitchen.
I shud not have to call zline for lights...I shud b able to goto Walmart n get the replacement bulbs. Defect or flaw I call it w zline otherwise all looks gd
Hey. Great video. What kind of bit would you recommend for glass tile? Also, it looked like you started drilling at an angle and then leveled up after getting started. Whats the reason for this? Thanks again.
Its because a bit on tile will jump around causing you to miss your mark. Start at an angle to get it to bite and then level it off to prevent it from skipping around.
The 1/4” drywall plugs are rated at 20th s each and the Z-Line unit in the video is a 60lb unit. But… I think he’s good considering they are set in stone and then drywall. Yea?
the duct work needs improvement, there is a big hole between the flexible duct and aluminum pipe in the wall!!! The ducting is supposed to be airtight, u dont even bother to tape it up
It doesn't seem the screws griped the stud, would that be a problem? As the range hood is heavy and vibrating all the time.
wish i had a family member like you, love the channel from ireland 🇮🇪
I've fitted my hood but struggling with the chimney piece it's a 2 piece but they not going together properly as I've got it quite high
Butcher job. Underneath the siding not on top.
Beautiful mate nice work , get some cordless tools
Looks butch AF
Didnt even use hard pipe
Should have put a backing plate behind the vent cause that looks like shit. If that was my house I'd be pissed
Do you have a video showing installing an insert hood into a preexisting cabinet above cook-top
I know it calls for 6" duct, but could you use 4". I already have 4" ran and will not be able to run 6".
