Does the wall termination vent for a kitchen range hood need fastened to the duct tightly?

Home Improvement Asked on August 10, 2021

6" duct running out through exterior wall. For my dryer wall vent, I used a pipe clamp to tightly secure the round duct around the outside of the male fitting on the wall vent. I have access to this space if I ever need to replace the wall vent. Once this kitchen is done, I will not have access to the space for the range hood vent. Looking to the future, in case I ever need to replace the wall vent, do I simply friction fit the male fitting of the wall vent into the range hood duct so that I can easily slide a new one in?

I can’t see any way people could replace these in an exterior wall if they secured the duct to the vent with a clamp or tape.

One Answer

Ducts do not need to be securely fastened to their wall vent counterparts, nor taped. Simply pushing the duct over the male fitting of the wall vent will suffice.
