New cooker hood - req 150mm to cover warranty - powerful unit.
Purchase “150mm Rigid Aluminium - Manrose Cooker Hood Kit”.
In box instructions – bore a 720mm correction 172mm hole for ease of fitting. So I did (Pics).
Next - looked at the rest of the kit. Included gravity grille = 150mm. Included aluminium duct (internal) = 620mm! Up against the end of the tube – 20mm gap from plastic coupling (gravity grille) – to inside of. Very poor pairing in my opinion. To get a seal against the coupling of the Grille, the aluminium duct - has to be severely folded.
Returned Manrose kit! Hole already made - to big!
Ikea - aluminium ducting (accurately 150mm internal dia) + Separate 150mm Grille (in pics) – perfect coupling – great fit.
Help: How to reduce the size of the hole – specifically so I can get a proper seal when affixing that grille to the wall, using screws. What is the right way to be resolving the gaps?
What do I need to buy/do to get this done properly? The seal needs to be good and must last.
(Cavity wall with insulation).
P.s: Any of these correct? : http://www.u-can.tv/products-category/outdoors/
