A range hood is a must-have element in any kitchen that provides clean air and removes excess moisture from the room. There are different types of devices presented. However, air duct hoods are most often used. They are connected to a common ventilation system. Air ducts for hoods for the kitchen can have different sizes, workmanship, color and shape.
So, the presented elements can be made of plastic or aluminum. The second option is represented by a
corrugated pipe, which is connected at one end to the hood, and the other to the ventilation duct. It is cheap and practical. However, it does not fit organically into the general interior of the room, so such ducts for the hood for the kitchen are installed if they are in a closed bedside table. The disadvantage of a corrugation is that, due to folds, it may not perform its work so effectively. However, it is mounted very quickly and does not require any special tools. But you need to pay attention to the fact that the metal is not too thin, as it will quickly break.
Ducts for kitchen hoods made of plastic are quite attractive in design, can have different shapes. In addition, such elements are very easy to clean, do not accumulate harmful bacteria on themselves. The only drawback of such products is that they may not withstand high temperatures and melt. In principle, situations in the home kitchen rarely happen when too hot air (90 or more degrees) passes through the hood. Naturally, choosing such a device is necessary based on your individual requirements, as well as the conditions in which the item will be operated.
Now you need to understand how the ducts for the hood for the kitchen are attached. In principle, this procedure is relatively simple, and you can deal with it without a specialist. However, all work should be done accurately and accurately. So, if you decide to use an aluminum element, then you need to purchase special clamps to connect to the hood and the ventilation duct. Naturally, you should choose a corrugation if the neck of the main device to which the product will be attached has a round shape.
During installation, make sure that the clamps are tightly tightened, and the pipe itself does not have sharp bends that will impede the outflow of steam. Also, be sure to pay attention to the fact that the ducts for the kitchen hood should be as short as possible. In this case, the efficiency of the cleaner is the highest.
The rectangular duct for the hood is also quite easy to install. The fact is that it is enough to install it on the cleaner and attach it with a clamp. This does not cause any difficulties. However, if the hood is in the wall, then the knee must be attached to the main duct. As for the shape of the neck of the cleaner, there are no problems, since there are various adapters.
