Now make it air-tight by using screws and foil tape. Mark the holes for the hood. Place the hood on the wall and mark the holes, so that you know exactly where the hood has to be installed. Insert the screws exactly where you have marked.
Next, attach the vent hood where you have inserted the screws. The screws need to be tight enough. Connect the electrical wires with wire connectors by attaching the white to the white wire and black to the black wire. Then connect the copper ground wire to the grounding wire connector. The last step in the installation is the insertion of the fan motor and filter into the housing. Best Practices when installing Range Hood Ductwork Make sure the system outlet is not an enclosed area and is outside in the open.
Step 6: Prepare the Damper. Step 7: Run the Electrical Line. Attach a wall or roof cap to the exterior wall or roof. Determine where you want to vent your range hood.
Install your ductwork in the shortest unobstructed path to the outside of your home. Attach the range hood to your ductwork.

To have a smooth installation, find a great contractor to install your ductwork.
No, you should never vent your range hood into the attic. The excess buildup of grease and moisture in your attic will ruin it and over time may cause mold damage.
This video features our PLFI , a convertible vent hood that has a pretty universal installation process. Make sure you have everything you need in the box. If you are missing parts, call the distributor or manufacturer for a replacement. Then, remove the hood from the box and inspect it for scratches and dents. It is possible that the hood was damaged en route to your home after it left the warehouse. If so, call the supplier to ask for a replacement hood.
Here is a helpful video to show you exactly what you need to do before you install your vent hood. We also laid out all the steps in this article. Then, line up the center of the ceiling mounting bracket with the center point you just drew.
Finally, outline the ceiling bracket with a pencil. Also, mark the four holes in the ceiling bracket where you will drill the screws. It will be easier to cut a hole through your ceiling if you have traced your ductwork. Otherwise, you may struggle to make a hole that is the exact size you need. When cutting the hole for your ductwork, do not follow the pencil line that you marked.
Instead, cut a hole about an inch larger than the markings you made. This will make it much easier for you to thread the ductwork through the hole. If the ductwork does not fit through the hole, do not try to force it.
Use a compass to trace a new line and cut out a larger hole. The duct should be easy to pull through and it should not brush up against the ceiling. Before you get too far into the installation process, ensure that you can run electricity to it without too much trouble.
Make sure you know where you will plug in your vent hood and that you have the necessary extension cords before you proceed with the installation. Use your drill and mounting screws to attach the ceiling bracket to your ceiling. Pay attention to the markings you made in step two. Your vent hood should come with four support brackets. Line them all up along the corner of your ceiling mount bracket and look for the screw holes.

There is a screw hole on the top of the support bracket and chimney which you will use to secure it in place. At Proline, most of our ducted range hoods come with two chimney pieces. Slide the second chimney into place and secure it with tape on the outside and inside.

You should endeavor to keep it in a safe place to avoid damage. Also, ensure that the space above the hood is empty before doing anything. Ensure that the spots you mark out on the ceiling are precise. This is particularly essential as the success of the procedure depends on it. Use the measuring tape to take exact lengths of the range hood vent. Afterward, head to the ceiling and indicate the spots with a marker. Size up the range hood vent and see if it fits the marked spots, just for confirmation.
After marking the spots, the next step is to puncture holes on them. To vent a range hood through a wall or roof, you have to open up a hole in the ceiling using a drill machine.
The holes are not just for the range hood but also drill one or two more holes for the electric wires too. This particular step will require a level of pinpoint accuracy from you because once there is a mistake, the whole procedure goes south.
