Hello Friends,
We are building new home & I have easy question regarding Range hood ducting.
- Builder said, It will cost $1000-$1200 extra for external ducting.
I found there is way we can do it under $50.
- Internal ceiling height 2.590 meter
- Range-hood cabinet has space for ducting as below.
I am planning to add ducting as shown in below.
Will there be any issues if we do it this instead of adding hole in ceiling?
Regards,
Chetan

If you can use metal ducting as the flexible coil ducting restricts the output.

No, Quotes $1000 - $1200 extra for this..Builder usually makes bulkhead which adds extra cost as per them.. I said no as It is not fair quote. Buider is going to install omega 90cm Slide-out Rangehood ORT9WXA which has both options Ducted or front recirculating installation. Buider is going to keep on front recirculating installation. I am thinking to add ducting & change mode to external (slide switch will change the mode) after handover. I hate this kind of easy jobs for which builders charge $1000. 07 Aug 2020 26 Junior Member Re: Rangehood ducting 7Aug 08, 2020 12:41 pm Stewie DGoing out the wall rather than the eaves is a better option - less bends restricting air flow.

But I do not want to add 125mm hole in new brick wall... My heart is not soooo strong... Range hood has 120mm duct connector size.. I am thinking to add 125 - 150mm Duct Adapter over rangehood which will increase air flow & also recuses resistance due to coil structure compare to 120mm & then duct pipe will be 150mm. https://www.bunnings.com.au/pacific-air-125-150mm-duct-adapter_p4700436 I am worried If I pass duct between timber frame & brick wall & end it to external eaves. what will be issues?? - Will it get condensation because brick wall will be cold & duct pipe will be little bit higher temperature after cooking?? - Will it generate noise due to airflow? 07 Sep 2011 4,424 Northern Beaches , Sydney Gold Member Re: Rangehood ducting 8Aug 08, 2020 1:14 pm You are complicating it. Just go straight out through the wall. Easy. I used to install kitchens full time. We used to duct range hoods a lot through weatherboard clad walls, sheet clad, single brick, double brick walls. The principle is still the same. The shortest route is generally the best.

Front recirculating rangehood with carbon filters that you have to keep on replacing or just mesh filters which will result in your house getting full of cooking smells? 2. I got a couple of bathroom exhausts, that initially just exhausted into the roof space, fitted with ducting and plumbed out through a colorbond roof. Total cost less than $500 to do both. Your builder is charging about a 100% markup on that job 07 Aug 2020 26 Junior Member Re: Rangehood ducting 10Aug 08, 2020 5:29 pm @Althom Thanks for your comments. 1. I agree with you internal circulation is good. reduces air quality, increases moisture level (foggy windows) & makes wholes house foggy due to smoke from butter \ ghee which triggers smoke alarms in our current home. 2. I agree with you builder is saying we can do it but it will cost $1000 extra which I feel It is not fair. So, We decided to do it after handover. Fun is we can't argue with builder because builder is god when we are at the middle of the project... LOL. 07 Aug 2020 26 Junior Member Re: Rangehood ducting 12Aug 08, 2020 6:30 pm @Althom But bunnings is selling so many kits & It is fire resistant..Is it still not legal?? TBH... Rangehood is made of plastic parts & it gets fat or oil builds in as it gets old.. https://www.bunnings.com.au/pacific-air-125-150mm-flexible-wall-or-eave-rangehood-ducting-kit_p4700418 Good luck!
