Can the duct vent on top be opened up to 8" or 10" as the 6" vent is too small for 900CFM, which means too much noise as air moves through 6" hole?

Dear Roumen, Xtreme is not providing any solution for that, but we just called them, they have advised to purchase 6-8 or 6-10 hood adapter from home depot or lowes. Please let us know should you have any more questions. -- Regards, Christian Bowen Office Manager Firstlook, Inc Office: 917-588-9387 Cell: 347-770-0044 Fax: 718-266-3534

I remodeled my kitchen last summer and wondered the same thing. The problem is that this unit blows exhaust from the back, traditional built in's blow it out the front. Operating heat for the compressor is an issue. As long as the unit can get airflow around it, it will be fine. I had the under counter hole cut 6" wider than the unit (3" ea side) and at least 6" space behind the compressor. I framed in the gap with trim pieces on the front. It looks and runs great. Hope this helps!

I purchased longer, hex head screws to attach it to the closest two by four that supports the ceiling. Since my previous fan used 3" ducting, I purchased a metal 4' to 3' round reducer to connect the fan to the existing duct. A 3" duct is louder, but it still does the job!

I vented with 6 " also through the roof. Turned it on, went on the roof and it was blowing pretty hard. I am very satisfied. Didn't try the t paper trick though. We have a very large bathroom and it pulls air very well.

You should be able to connect up to an existing duct which undoubtedly will pass thorough the base of your cabinet. If its 6 in diameter vent pipe (most likely) you will need a transition from the rectangular blower on this cooktop to the round duct and perhaps and adjustable angle. Just make sure you have about 15" to 20" of clearance to allow for the transition to the round duct. Its a relatively simple connection, but may require a few pipe parts to make the turn and reconnect to your existing pipe (depending upon where it is in the cabinet. Hope this helps.

Hi Anne, it's actually both. The duct is a tapered design starting at 4" and then gradually enlarging to 6" so it will accommodate either size.

I would think so, as it may just be pushing a little more CFMs. This unit has a light, plus a nite light, fan and heater. It uses a 6 inch duct, but you can use it with 4 inch, but it might not be quite as quiet. I replaced an onlder, round nutone with the same features. I had to modify the ceiling hole, but you may not have to do that. Check the spec sheet to compare with your old one, and if you have any questions Broan customer service will help. BTW, this fan is so much more quiet than our old one!

No. It moves a lot of air and it would be restrictive to go to a 4 inch duct.

It's a perfect fit to slide inside 4" metal ducting. Tape it up and plug it in and you're set! Air flow. Good question!

There are different sizes of floor vents and different sizes of Air Flor Breeze. Go back to their website and read further. On my 104 year old house, I had to modify my vent size opening.

I don't think you can make it louder. The only option would be to go with a borland exhaust but I think it is overkill or disconnect your exhaust all together, but that is illegal.

I used preformed roof flashing to fabricate a mounting bracket that allowed the fitting to that sized opening when I installed mine BUT I don't know if that unit meets the OSHA specs for a kitchen exhaust fan-----you'd better check before you try it. This fan might not be rated for that use.

It came with a 3-4" inch extension which would facilitate connecting the upward exhaust to the 90 degree input. If this is a new install, you may wish to look at dryer vent exhaust products. They have some neat products that would definitely facilitate installation. Getting back to your question, had no trouble squeezing the exhaust pipe material through the opening in a finished basement wall.

Most microwave vent hoods require a 7" duct, this is only 4". It would "work" but with restricted airflow.

It comes with flexible 6 in duct. You would need 8 in to 6 in duct reducer.

Yes it is easy to connect a 6" duct too I like to use hvac thermal duct it's a lot better quality also available on amazon lol there's a 6" flange that actually screws to the filter you connect the duct to that the filter is very big and heavy if you aren't familiar with this sort of thing but honestly works great best one for the money that's for sure
