I have a 7&amp;1/2' ceiling, can i instal this hood with out having to cut the chimney? I know most of the hoods are adjustable for 8 - 9' ceilings.

Not sure.. I have mine mounted on my kitchen cabinets, what I call a faux float.. I have it vented through the side of my house with a 90degress angle b/c I did not want to cut into the roof

I have 8 foot ceilings, and I'm 5'1". when I put the incline up to 40 the top of my head is even with the top of the closet door which would be about 7 feet. So I don't think it would work for you with a 7' ceiling. You would have to have at least and 8' ceiling.

I'm not sure you can make this a true ceiling hugger but I did cut the down rod shorter as it was going to be too low for my 8' ceilings. Just used a hack saw and drilled a new hole for the pin. It's aluminum not steel so it's easier than it sounds. I would guess you could cut in half before the wind flow started having a negative impact on it's stability.

The chimney top of the hood extends; however, I doubt it would reach to the top of a cathedral ceiling. I believe the specs show it will go to about 8' high. You could contact the company to see about purchasing additional chimney extensions.

The hood includes the exhaust mechanism, filter and light fixture, and once you install it (under a cabinet or all of the way to the ceiling) you must purchase the necessary exhaust pipe to either take the exhaust straight thru the roof, or get a 90 degree elbow (and the necessary pipe) to bend it (in the attic) in order to take the exhaust to the (side) eve of the house. Exhausting to the eve of the house is more economical and reduces the cost/risk of cutting thru the roof and the potential water leak etc. The elbow and aluminum exhaust pipes that I purchased at Home Depot (very economical) do not have to be sealed since they fit into one another tightly. One thing that I noticed on my hood is that the light switch occasionally stick when I try to turn the light on. Although I have not done it, I am sure that a bit of WD40 sprayed on the side of the switch would do the job. Considering the cost of this product, it is an excellent value. The unit is very easy to install. We are retired and we would buy this item again. We have stainless steel appliances and this hood matches seamless. To impress family and friends there are other hoods that would do the job at higher costs. I suggest that you follow the installation instructions as far as the distance of the hood from the top of the stove. Too close to the top of the stove will impede your working room, too far from the top of the stove, will diminish its power to exhaust the heat properly. It was suggested to us, and we followed, to install the hood where the very bottom of the hood is in line with your eye brows. It works fine, as exhausting the heat/smoke and it gives us plenty of working room with the pots etc. I hope this info helps.....

The measurement is 16 inches for the flew (chimney part) from the start of the range hood there is 10 inches. We had this issue but wanted a polished look to our kitchen so we removed the above cabinets and put tile right to the celing in behind. Good luck with your project

I believe you can. I had an electrician install, and it seems to me that he let me choose the length that it would be from the ceiling.

You could flush mount it, but looking at mine (and using a measuring tape), it looks like the OVERALL drop from ceiling to the decorative finial on the bottom, would be about 18"-23", but the fan blades would only drop about 10-13" from the ceiling, so the "blade danger" wouldn't be much issue. I think you will be totally fine with 8' ceilings, but If you have anyone who is REALLY tall, like 6'4"+ in the home, maybe go with a lower profile fan without the heating element...

If you want to get technical, you will want to know the CFM (cubic feet per minute) of the fan you are using. If you have a 6 inch and a 4 inch fan with the same CFM, they will vent the same amount of air. You will need 6 inch ducting to attach to the hood, but that does not necessarily mean you can only use a 6 inch fan. I rigged this up to a lasko blower fan from walmart (~$45) and it does well.

Nope. I have 7.5 foot ceilings, and I had to use a hacksaw to trim down the extension pole to about 5 inches just so I'd have some pole to extend down into the inner tube. Really, without the extension, it just about 7.5 feet.

Yes indeed. I changed my range hood over from an inexpensive recirculating type to a wall mount, 600 CFM multi speed vent. The roof cap worked perfectly. I have one back draft damper in the range hood itself and another in the roof cap. No problems with shipping or packaging either. It arrived on time and intact as well.

It will adjust to fit your 9' ceiling. You will not need anything else to make it look right. We are extremely pleased with the look and performance.

the hood range is designed to remove steam and odors from cooking. find a book at the library/google it on maximum distance from the stove top to the lower hood. If the hood range is too far a distance from the stove top than you have defeated the purpose of the product, the range hood is adjustable, I built a frame for the hood range since it weighs over 50# and used 8 screws to hold up the range. I did not use the screws that came with the range, JUNK. I used 3.5 inch deck screws with washers, total 8, drilled my own holes for the mounting plate. the most difficult task is connecting the vent tube, since it is metric and not standard, will be challenging because it will not fit into the 6 inch vent, need to stretch the vent collar. Just remember the vent is adjustable for height. get a piece of string and tape to ceiling and cut to length of range height. from the bottom of the string measure the distance from your stove top, is it within proper ventilation height requirements from stove top to the bottom of the hood range. Most important will this pass a home inspection IF you sell your home one day. Use foil metal tape to secure the connections seams, available at Home depot.

The one I bought fits, but the mounting screws do not fit the holes in the hood, and I don't want to drill more holes, shouldn't have to. Still looking for some screws that will fit. I should have sent it back, but have had it to long now. Hope this helps.

Obviously you can't put an 8' pole in a room with a shorter ceiling. Start with the 7' setting and adjust the pole until it is fastened tightly in place. I have a 9' ceiling and just used the tallest setting.

The hood comes in two pieces the first main one is 16 inches the second on that fits inside and slides up to make up the second stage is also 16 inches but figure you lose up to an inch since you should keep that much at the point that the two are joined together. Yes the exhaust tubing is plastic but I used it since I was dumping the exhaust right from the until to the ouside and a metal smoke elbow would not be enough to make it through the wall and to try to make up the difference with metal would have been more work then needed. If your going to discharge the exhaust higher up (more then a foot) then use the metal smoke pipe it cuts down on the loss of CFM since it us smooth inside where as the plastic is ribbed for flexing. By the way I also used a Broan 641 wall cap it works real good with this installation and has not only a backdraft damper but a bird and bug screen.

The version I got was adjustable to 45inches from the ceiling. You have a few options.
