Hi All,
I am in the process of fitting a cooker hood. I am hiring a 4" core drill for the day early next week, but wanted a little advice regarding finishing off the hole.
I plan to drill out the hole and put in a plastic sleeve which will also act as the connection between the outside vent and duct pipe inside. Is it ok to simply secure the sleeve into the hole and seal the edges on the outside with brown silicone/mastik and then cover it with the outside vent? i plan to do pretty much the same on the inside, but with white silicone.
I have not really found much info online regarding the through wall connections and was worried about drafts and water getting in. Is what i plan to do acceptable?
Thanks in advance
