Hey Gang,
Here is the range hood we are installing. We are looking forward to getting this bad boy installed. To that end I completed the ducting yesterday.
I wrapped the 6 inch duct with pipe insulation for the section that is in the attic.
Do I nned to install insulation around the pipe for the small section that extends from the ceiling to the fan blower ? This part of the duct will be behind the stainless steel housing.
The install instructions say to only install 4 screws at the top of the blower to attach it to the wall. Page 6 of Installation Instruction pdf found in attached link. Actually the illustration shows only two screws, but there is room for 4 on the mounting bracket. That seems kind of flimsy to me. Actually seems no where near enough, but what do I know.

Would you guys add another couple of screws lower down on the fan housing if you could? There are some holes there I can utilize.
And yes I have a wire run to my high effeciency furnace to install an interlock so that the furnace fan comes on when the range hood is on. This is to ensure there is fresh air being sucked in by the furnace.
