Ducting Range Hood Vent to Roof
Vložit

- EDIT: Before adding sealant on the top side, put nails on each corner. I forgot to show the top ones on this video.
Based on This Old House's video. The range hood came with flexible piping but my local city's code calls for straight and smooth ducting to prevent grease build up.

Excuse my breathing noises lol I had serious allergies that time - Jak na to + styl
Looks good, but the vent flashing should have went under the second row of shingles as well. Better to have more covered and less exposed.
Excellent! Getting ready to do mine this weekend. Loved seeing the tube roll off the roof and bending the nail! That’s the real stuff right there! And we’ve all been there.
THANK YOU! Just did mine for a microwave exhaust. Watched your video a few times and did it in about 30 minutes. I was lucky mine was close enough to the edge of the roof that I was able to do it standing on my ladder. For anyone reading this and thinking about tackling this project, I used all rigid 6" ductwork. No flexible stuff. It's not only highly recommended to only use rigid, but also code in most states. Do it during warm weather. If it's cold out, you're gonna have a hard time with the shingles. Also, when choosing between 6" and 4" ductwork, check your fan exhaust capacity. Thanks again for posting this video. Very helpful!
So best to just go 6" and not worry about if it'll be enough?
@@Victor-hc8xx If you're going through the trouble of ducting it 6" should be the minimum. 6" is good for 600 cfm and lots of range hoods these days do more than that.
I felt that when the tube rolled off the roof.
Good restraint on the language. LOL
Didn't anyone else notice that the dog never barked again after the tube rolled off the roof...lol, thanks for sharing your experience.I'll be doing mine soon, the reason I'm watching.
I am loving this video. The fact that there no dialog but rather just showing how it's done... But when that tube of sealant feel out and rolled off was the point I decided to subscribe. That was hilarious!
Just finished my hood range install and this video encouraged me to diy saved bunch of money and it was simple’ no talking just showing i like that not like other vid they get you bired before explaining how to ! Very nice!!!!!
That's the videos i like watching cuz they really show how to do the work instead of just talk and talk... well done 👏
Roofers use a large piece of foam to kneel on and to keep tools/materials from sliding down the roof. Usually it’s old couch cushion foam, try it out
Thank you so much. Instead of talking about a bunch of crap you just got busy right off the get-go. And didn’t say a word so it was perfect thanks
Thank you Sir on a job well done. I love to see videos when people know what they are doing.
Keep the good work.
Literally just watched this again and I finally installed mine on my roof for my hood range. It went great and just waiting for a rain to check for leaks, lol. Thx a bunch!!
Hey buddy just get safely on top roof whit your GARDEN HOSE and check the leakage ...!!!
You forgot to nail the pipe onto the roof, it supposed to stick out and then make two cuts on it and nail to the roof then put the vent cover over it
Even the choice of background music was good,thanks
That looks like a really steep roof pitch. My hat's off to you for DIYing this and recording it too!
Fantastic , i just did a roof vent for my 2nd floor dryer unit. Like the safety harness
Do you have any condensation issue in the attic?
Well done even without the music. Safety harness a must!
Nice of you to feature the safety harness.
I wonder: Was the ladder damaging the shingles at the edge of the roof? Maybe your ladder needs a standoff.
I like the video and work you did. Im buying an over range microwave and want vented out like that too. So many steps and alot of work! Im first getting an electrician to hook up a seperate outlet in cabinet and its own breaker for the fan. Do I then hire an HVAC or Roofer or both to do rest?
Well done! Just what I needed to see before I went up there. Particularly liked how the vid was short instead of some long drawn out 15 minute narrative from some dude mansplaining what a utility knife is, and where to purchase BAKOR. Thanks.
This work should be reconsidered
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! New woman follower here! Hoping to learn and maybe attempt! I want to cover the vent with the shingles all around though. The ice water protector layer I think I need too.
Nice kitchen, and attic space!
Used a roofing harness! Wonderful!! First time I have seen it in hundreds of roof videos. Most common roof fall is forgetting where the edge is and simply walking off the roof. $100 harness kit saves $KK of med bills and pain. Seen it. Ugly.
Wow, they're cheap now... $99 at Home Depot!
I agree! Safety first
I like the use of the safety harness also but that rope looks awfully long.
@@mikeslater6246, the rope is long so you can walk across the entire roof without the need for additional anchor straps at the ridge. It doesn't mean that's how far you would fall if you did fall. I don't know what the proper word is but the line has a brake device on it that you can adjust to limit how far you would fall.
Did you leave the red anchor installed on your roof for future use?
Nicely done!
Thanks just watch your video I am also installing a vent for my microwave I seen how do you align the vent tube to the roof so it align properly no one else has shown how to align the roof it with your microwave vent thanks again and thumbs up
Great video and thanks for sharing
Could you use the same vent cap on a tiled roof? My roof is sloped but it’s flat tiles instead of shingles
lmao. that's happen to me too where the tube just rolls away but I had a few words to say. lol
What part do you need if your roof jack doesn't have a collar? You just have a 6" coming out of the roof for example.
Thank you for making this! I would have liked to see the pipe connections under the roof too.
sorry did not show much footage of that but in the beginning of the video you see some of it. It's all straight 6in pipe from the ceiling drywall then have a slight elbow (theyre adjustable) then another straight section going directly to the vent. Just used flashing/roofing tape to attach everything together.
Very helpful great 👍 job
Professional job bro 👌
I missed the part where the roof vent attaches to the ductwork. Do you go down to the attic or kitchen and feed it up to the vent? Did you even connect it?
Your courageously cutting a hole in the roof gives me chills. Is this a horror movie? I couldn't do this.
I agree 100%. My roof is not pitched as much but still dread going up on it
Can’t beat good old silicone 😂👍
Oh my just so you know the sealant you used it will give up in couple of months and then you will get water in the house just because you cut 2 rows and you stuck the vent under just one row. Both rows should've go over the vent for better weather proofing and Always when you install a vent take your time pull out the shingles and use ice and water to seal around not caulking because its kinda useless. Appreciate your time posting this but i fix them everyday!
Can you elaborate on the ice and water? Also the two rows vs one row. I'm still learning, thanks
@@johnhammond2155 yes search on google for ice and water shield. Get an idea how to cover a vent with this ice and water shield and instead of using the caulking sealant which is a mess its easier to use the ice and water, plus it will last as long as the roof life. Caulking tends to give up especially getting hit by the sun everyday it will sooner or later give up and wake up with water in your house. So always take couple shingles or rows out to expose the area you have to work on. Lets say for the vent you have you need to take out at least 3 rows. Then cut your vent hole and remember your bottom shingle has to be covered a bit by the bottom of your vent that you are installing. So once the vent hole is cut and vent placed on his spot you nail the 4 corners and after you come and cover it around with ice and water shield. Obviously you have to trim it around. Then once this step is done you have to place the 3 rows you took off back on and again trim them around. And now you dont have any nails exposed and no caulking needed and you can sleep good at night by knowing you dont have to worry until the next roof change. I hope you understand my story if not i will post a video and probably tag you somehow if not keep an eye on my chanel i will post a video how its done.
@@Banana-handyman88 I would like to see a video as well please
@Alex Tudor Did you ever post that video?
@@Banana-handyman88 how do you put the shingles back on? That black caulking? Sorry, woman newbie here!! I’m tempted!!!
A friend of ours fell off the roof and died. A harness would have changed history. We used to run hexagonal head sheet metal screws into the lugs on our boots. I know, hard on shingles, but be careful on them, and save your life and/or wellbeing.
I was gonna say this video is fake until I saw the tube roll off and all the roofing tar everywhere. Then, I knew for sure it was a real roof mod.
What's your range hood CFM? Mines 700 and I'm seeing 7" minimum diameter duct
That was a really nice circle from cuting it with a saw za
I'm in Miami and need this work done at my house, any idea what company does this down here?
Did you get back the fallen caulk tube using the force like Luke in the Wampa cave getting his lightsaber?
Nicely done. 👍🏻 I use a 6 3/8 hole saw . My stuff rolls off the roof once in a while.
Carries an apron, but took the whole box of nails
Hi! Good evening! Just want to ask what brand of sealant did you use? Thank you!
looks like regular shingle tar or wet patch roof sealant
Hi! When didn’t you put any waterproofing sealer on the bottom of the cap? I saw you on my did the L,R and top.
I didn't put sealant on the bottom to prevent trapping excess moisture/water that might come from the duct. It's explained better in the "How to Vent a Bath Fan Through the Roof" by This Old House's video
And the video in question: czcams.com/video/PqrZWd_CQIE/video.html
Be careful bro. god bless you,
your roof aint no joke! i would hate to have to get up there.
Great vid thanks.
What is the name of the safety system your'e using?
Where did you get the vent? Does it have a backflow valve in it?
Yes overall it has 2 backflow flaps, one from the actual unit and one from the roof vent. I got the vent and ducts from home depot. They are 6 inches
Did you have to cut the tubing? How do you do that if you have to? I’m a woman and don’t know sorry. Lol
That is going to leak for shure
Should have used a couple of pitch hoppers, One for you to rest on and work and the other to hold your tools. Look into them.
Thank you for the video. What kind of contractor should I ask for this type of work? It seems to involve a roofer and someone with dry wall experience?
Asking same question.
Who do we ask?
they charge a lot. watch some yt videos and do it yourself. easy job
@@hamajangz9586 I hired a roofer and a general contractor for roof vent, electrical wiring and range hood installation. Cost me over one thousand total
@@zehuazhou3390 you must be loaded to be throwing around money like that
@@hamajangz9586 oh... I thought I got a good deal....
A good rule of thumb on roofs (or attempting to shed water anywhere outdoors) --- NEVER use caulks or sealants --- Shed water mechanically with flashings !!!
Isn't the vent supposed to be at least 3 ft from any other vents in the roof to pass code????
How did you know where to drill the pilot hole (from inside the attic) so that the vent's top edge would line up perfectly with the upper course of shingles?
Was just a coincident. It shouldn't matter much as long as you have at least two layers of shingles on top of the vent
@@danielangeles86 Thanks. Great video.
If you need to be precise, you can use a plumb bob.
For me I had the new range hood in place. Had to stand on either side of range hood and attach a felt to the end of a stick for center. Then crawl in attic drill felt mark.
So everyone is aware, what this guy did is not totally correct. I'm not putting him down or criticizing just pointing a few critical flaws. The pipe should be fastened inside the attic due to potential fire. When the vent needs to be cleaned the pipe could come loose letting the smoke vent inside the attic. The pipe should be directly connected to the vent then all seams should have foil tape around them. The pipe should have gone directly through the roof about an inch, 2 tab cuts made on opposite sides of the pipe then nail down the tabs to ensure the pipe is stable at the top or wrap a band around the pipe and nail the ban down, then crimp the pipe or the vent wont fit over the band. The vent should have ice shield underneath the vent 6"-1foot all the way around. If the pipe is secured to the vent caulk underneath the vent is unnecessary because he stuck the vent to paper. You should use roofing tar at room temperature, if the tar is too hot a big mess will be made. The tar goes on top of the vent but under the shingles. If you put a nail through metal 100% guaranteed that nail will leak. By using the roofing tar you create a very good seal with the nail and the metal and at the same time the shingles will have a very good seal to each other and the vent. Any nails that will be exposed should have a rubber washer then caulked over with culk that suits your area.
Well what can i say he have makita tools,thats how you know he is good 👍
Looks greaaaaat...
Leaning the ladder right on the shingles will break the shingles.
What could a home owner reasonably expect to pay for this work?
That was the worst roof vent job I've ever seen., but I'm glad it popped up because I now use it to train guys what not to do.
what is the max allowable vertical length for a 6 in ducting?
Hi, that depends on your local code. Thanks
100'
What is name Glue/Caulking for vent?
wet patch roof sealant
You skipped like 20 steps it seems.
Is this a series?
you're dumping the greasy exhaust right onto the roof.
Nice job, I'd throw my crappy router on that plywood and make a perfect sized hole with extra clearance.
Am so mad I didn't research this.
I had a guy do it for me and now I had drip ..drip because he didnt do it properly.
5 min 30 seconds it's all it took to learn... need pause and breathe and learn
Was it really necessary to use the rope on that roof? You were not even working close to the edge, and it looks like only two stories
I didn't want to take the risk. $100 reusable harness was worth the peace of mind. Also I got used to fall protection from work where anywhere 6ft and above we were required to use fall protection. One slip could lead to a major injury or death, near the edge or not. It's not necessary but I chose to use it and it's also up to you.
@@danielangeles86 OK fair. I did not know you were trained for that. Most people with no training would possibly put themselves in trouble. Let me explain: I have mountaineering and antenna tower climbing experience going back several decades. What I have observed is that people with no training 1) use harnesses as an excuse to be less vigilant to the point of putting themselves more in danger than necessary 2) they in fact stumble over the ropes and fall often, sometimes due to fatigue due to having to constantly relocating it. This roof looks easy enough that either one is unlikely.
Just one more question, won't the screws used to fix the attachment create water entry points on a roof like this?
@@AlessioSangalli Perfectly understood. The screws were placed below shingles where the truss is so I removed existing before attaching the brackets then you nail them back on. Of course there's a chance of leaking but it depends on how careful you take off the shingles.
This guy is stoned, what a mess.
I was with you, thinking 'great job' until you got roofing cement all over the surrounding shingles. But otherwise still great job.
I think his technique is wrong 2 tabs cover the bottom overlaps?
Installer sure got enough caulking on the shingles. What a mess. I am retired contactor. I would fire this guy on the spot.
Never use Flex Duct !! Venting is reduced by over 50% just by using Flex Duct. Use rigid vent
Use your words Helen
Dis dude isn't using any Ryobi products. He knows what the fuck he's doing.
