900403959 Genuine 200mm Square Wall Vent Kit AR200WV for Electrolux Group Ducted Rangehoods

Where a rangehood sits on an outside wall, venting straight through the wall is often the shortest, most efficient duct run. 900403959 is a genuine Electrolux 200mm square wall vent kit, accessory code AR200WV, for finishing that run neatly on the outside of the house. It suits 200mm ducting. Check your duct size and the wall construction before ordering, as brick, weatherboard and cladding each need a slightly different approach.

Why vent a rangehood through the wall

Every metre of duct and every bend costs a rangehood some extraction. Running the duct straight out through an external wall keeps the path short, so more of the fan's effort goes into clearing steam and smoke. The wall vent caps the outside end, covering the hole, keeping rain out and stopping birds and pests getting into the duct, while still letting exhaust air out freely. A broken or missing vent lets weather and vermin in and can leave greasy streaks down the outside wall.

Fitting a wall vent

Switch off the rangehood at the wall and check for hidden pipes and cables before cutting through any wall. Size the hole to suit the 200mm duct, slide the duct through and connect it to the vent's spigot with foil tape. Seal around the vent on the outside with a suitable exterior sealant so water can't get behind it. Brick walls may need a professional to core the hole.

Questions about this part

Which way should the duct slope to the wall vent?

Give it a slight fall toward the outside wall. That way any condensation in the duct drains out through the vent instead of running back into the rangehood.
