Cooker hoods
Apr 16th, 2005, 12:03pm
 
Couldn't figure out whether this is the right place to ask the question, but Has anyone fitted a chimney type cooker hood to extract through the wall?
Is there anything I should know? pitfalls etc, before rushing out and buying one?

WTF is going on
????????????????????

why has this post moved twice as i tried to respond to it????????????






In response to your question they are no different to any other type of cooker hood to install electrically. you can usually hide the connection unit inside the chimney.

Physically the only difference is that you aint butting it to the underside of a unit but just bolting to the wall.

wouldn't anticipate any problems

could i add to this and ask, are there any regs requirements as to where the air is discharged outside? are there any regs like those for the positioning of a boiler flue or is ventilation just left to common sense?

common sense mate Smiley

as far as i'm aware anyway Undecided

it's only air so no reason to worry about it.

as long as you don't put it too close to a PIR sensor or the light'll come on when you turn the hood on to take away the smell of your cooking
