My Broan only has a rectangle vent at back of rang hood, does this one fit my wall vent? Or do I need extra dry wall work to fit the round hose pipe

The AKDY has a round vent at the top of the unit, so you'll have to cover the existing hole and make a new opening. I've found that a 6" hole saw made for recessed lighting works wonders for that application.

Hi Carol, The vent cover has a small piece of pipe 6 inches in dia that gives you space to attach whatever lenght of tubing you are running Good Luck Ralph

I did and it fit fine. But the metal L bracket that hold it are a little to long. I didn't know it until I went to put the included plastic trim around to a/c. I ended up sinking them into the drywall a little and cover them up with mud and paint. Good luck

Jodi, I have no idea as the unit I purchased was to replace an existing vent on a house with siding. Sorry

It is an island hood so you do need some space for it. You also need electricity, ducting and another person to help put it up. It's a great looking unit. The stainless scratches easily so you have to be very careful when installing it. The vent stack is adjustable so you have wiggle room on the height. Do follow the instructions carefully. They are very specific about how far above the range it must be so as to maximize the ventilation.

i did purchase the same grill and found the fit and finish a little off. but very little. not enough to cause any concerns. my fit issue was more around the flushness around the curvature of the hood itself.

Best advice is contact a plumber. In my area the plumber told me it had to vent out an exterior wall according to our building code. They couldn't use my existing vent.

Hello Arnie, Unfortunately we only have the exhaust vent coming out of the top and not out of the back of any of our models. Thank you, Range Hood Direct Buy

The original old Broan that I had in place was really, firmly, in place and I was going to have to damage the ceiling to remove the old housing to replace in its entirety... Solution: I was able to successfully exchange the 'guts' alone; putting the new guts into the old housing (slight 'modification' re the plug's length ... no big deal). Worked like a charm for me as I like a bit of a challenge (but not too much!!). Just check housing dimensions prior to ordering is all I can suggest. Best of luck to you.

The rectangular duct adapter is available at Home Depot and fits inside the chimney. Very happy with this hood.

It would fit if you had it running the 4' length, but because of the duct work on both ends for cooling the bulb it would not fit in the 2' length if you had it positioned that way. I suggest you use the air cooling feature of this hood because without it the temps in your tent will cook your plants. I ran 2 of these in a 4x4x7 tent and with the duct work installed it was quite close.

I do not know. You should contact manufacturer or try and send back if doesn't work? I do know it does an excellent job as we could not vent our hood and took a chance. I love the ZLine hood! So many compliments it works well for venting out of your face!!

Yes it uses a 6 " round vent. You need standard metal venting from a hardware/home store to connect it to your existing exhaust duct. Just attach with a couple of metal screws and seal with foil tape.

I didn't even use the hose, I built a wooden box to line the AC vent with the vent plate I mounted to a piece of plywood that stays in the window all the time. It takes up a lot less room this way and looks a lot nicer too.

We had to buy special pipes for the venting to work. If you call a local distributor (Rinnai) they can give you more details.

Yes -- if the existing round duct has a corrugated end made for slipping into another 4 inch duct -- like the 885BL has when the 4-to-3 inch converter ring is removed. (Your existing duct should slide into the Broan pipe). If your 4 inch duct has a straight end, should buy a 4 inch connector that has the corrugated edge on both ends. Good idea to seal the connection with duct tape.

If you have outside vent access this kit plus the extension should do the trick. The plastic sections are very flexible and we have several 90 degree turns in ours.
