Kitchens – range hood with an offset

hoodkitchensrange

We have an old and rusty range hood in our kitchen that needs to be replaced. It is 42" wide (over a 31" cooktop).

The problem is that the vent opening is not at the center of the hood (see picture). All we could find are standard hoods where the duct opening must be at the center (here for example).

Does anyone know a hood model that looks like this? or that can be easily modified to look like this? Or is a non-ducted hood our only chance?

Thanks

Hood offset

Best Answer

Never seen one like this - BUT have installed many a hood in cabinets where the vent did not end up exiting the center of the cabinet. a combination of adjustable elbows will offset the vent if you have at least 15" height in the cabinet. As a last resort flexible aluminum duct could be used but only if you have no other options.
