Can this hood be vented through the wall instead of the roof? And if yes, do I need any additional venting materials?

Yes it can; there are ducting kits available. I purchased the unit for wall-mount and use a charcoal filter, but you can get the ducting kit as well to vent through a wall or ceiling/roof

Yes. It SHOULD / must be vented outside to be effective. The unit contains everything needed to make a correct installation through an exterior (frame) wall. You supply the electric wiring.

This unit needs to go outside. You can get other units that can go inside but they do require additional venting

Charles, it can be vented out the back. The vent rotates so it can be vented out of the top or the back. The vent is located in the center of the top/back corner. We vented ours out of the top because we had a stud in the wall that prevented venting out the back without ripping a portion of the wall out and rebuilding the support studs. ): So through the cupboard, ceiling and roof we went. You may want to take some measurements and check your wall for studs before committing to venting out of the wall. Good luck.

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.

I wouldn't recommend using without running the vent.it's really simple if u are handy

You don't need to install anything. The exhaust pipe is a short plastic pipe, but the air flow is not too strong. I have it in my kitchen and while it does warm up the area, it's not too bad and I never felt like I need to direct the airflow through the window.

I don't think so. You can do that by using the roof vent with exhaust flapper.

Yes, you would need to somehow attach a cord to the bare wires in order to plug it into a standard wall outlet. You would also need the non duct kit. I bought it and had a duct made for it. I really like the hood.

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

This excellent heater is vented. See details on Rinnai's website: http://www.rinnai.us/direct-vent-wall-furnace

To be clear; you may install a 90-degree elbow before the fixture (hood) that is attached to the outside of your home. I think that's obvious. The hood is necessary for the product to work as intended, that is: it's designed to propel the exhaust away from the building with a rather small amount of airflow. The hood has two venturi slots on its sides. These entrain and mix outside air with exhausted air and are necessary to achieve the effect. You could eliminate the hood, but now you'd need more airflow to propel the exhaust away. This means more blower strength and more exhaust noise. If you're going to do that, I'm not sure it makes sense to buy this product. To be clear; you may install a 90-degree elbow before the fixture (hood) that is attached to the outside of your home.

We vented through the ceiling. It attached to the old vent pipe that went through the roof.

The Ge installation instructions do require venting of this unit. The preferred option is via a damper to the outside but it can also be vented thru a window. Please call Goedekers at 888-768-1710 if you have any other questions and we will be happy to help Melanie with Goedekers

It's a front vented unit so no, no special venting required. It's a built in that can also be used as a stand alone.

No, please dont This specific model is designed for exterior installation only. However there is a similar product that is designed for interior installation but requires a duct venting to an exterior wall.it is a little cheaper but requires more installation work due to the exhaust ventilatio

It should work fine. The thickness can be adjusted (I don't know the exact range) but it can be extended with normal heating vents. The vent is very quiet and we are quite pleased. Our outside wall has wood siding on the outside also
