Range hood mounting scheme

monroe stainless steel bath ensemble by interdesign

The perfect trash can range hood---if it were a couple of inches
bigger. Beautiful sturdy stainless steel.

Ikea Kulla

This looks much better in person. Also it's made of steel so Britton can weld it. For a range hood, not a light.

Another tube

Found the Sirius SIU404 on Ebay for $2000. I'd sooner use a trash can.

That Chinese one with glass

On Ebay Rangehood4less sells the Chinese one with glass for $700 incl shipping.

Trash cans

Trash cans might make a good range hood. These are from trashcansunlimited or garbagecandepot. What, no trash cans r us?

Duratech pipe

From Northlineexpress but it's cheaper at other places.

Contemporary hanging light

Another possibility for a DIY range hood. This one could be mounted in a couple of ways. I found that in range hoods, it's the bottom, not the pipe, that makes all the difference.

Yet another pendant

This one would look good at the bottom of a black steel tube and it costs only $100. From Lamps Plus.

Another pendant

This one is nice but a bit pricey at $400.

Light

This cylinder pendant light could be attached to a pole to make a range hood.

Lights into range hoods?

These are about 2' high and made of frosted glass. I think these are about $100.

Perforated metal tube

Would make a nice range hood but probably not too functional without a liner.

Pearl Elite tube cajon

This drum is 28" tall and costs $119. A wood range hood. Hmmm. Grease, wood, fire. Maybe not.

European style range hood

$475 includes shipping on Ebay.

36" Enjen

This is $550 on Ebay.

The Venato

Also at $680

Fabyka range hood

The price to beat at $680.

Range hood info

At the heart of the ventilation system is the fan(s) it uses. An axial fan looks like a ceiling fan, while a centrifugal fan resembles a squirrel cage. A centrifugal fan moves more air than an axial unit does, and is better suited to long duct runs. However, an axial fans is less expensive.

The amount of air the fan can move is measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm). The Home Ventilating Institute recommends a minimum of 40 cfm for every linear foot of your range. That means a 120-cfm unit should be just enough for an average-size range. For a downdraft unit, that figure jumps to a minimum of 150 cfm. A remote-mounted motor, whose fan is located at the end of the ductwork rather than in the canopy so it's less noisy, also requires a higher cfm. How much higher depends on a number of variables, with length and layout of duct runs being the most important. Figure up to 400 cfm for a wall unit and as high as 600 cfm for an island cooktop.

Ikea Brasa

I wonder if we can turn this into a range hood?
