Connecting two elbows together...

16 years ago

So my range hood will be mounted on the inside wall. I cannot run the vent through the ceiling (there's a upper floor) and I cannot run it between the ceiling joists (because there's a ceiling joist directly above the range hood). So the only method is run it into the laundry room behind the kitchen, which is no problem.

However, the manual said do not connect two elbows together for "the most efficient and quiet operation". And that there needs to be a minimum of 24" between the elbows. This is probably the only way I can vent the range hood. Will this be problem with the sound created by the air? Anyone ever had this problem before? Thoughts?

So, that's one elbow, or are there 2 elbows in the hood cabinet?
Is it the assumption that you are then elbowing up, or to the side?
What is the size and shape of the connection at the appliance and is there the ability to discharge to the rear?
What is the recommended size of venting material?
If you are transitioning thru a stud wall, where are the closest studs relative to the center of the appliance vent connection?

You may also want to post on the Appliances forum. There's a lot of tech discussion over there.
