Cooker Hood Question

missminx

Having a nightmare with this cooker from start to finish. Now got 2nd hand Cooker hood, only to discover that it doesn't have whatever should be on the top in order for it to connect to an extraction pipe. :mad:
It is just the hood itself and an oblong section of chimney to go above it. What do I need to connect it to an extraction pipe? Sorry, I'm clueless.
It is a Chim 100 that says Glen Dimplex on it, but comes up as belling when searched. I can't find anything that looks right listed under spares.

Is that what we are talking about?

There should be a round outlet at the top of the main unit then use a reducer down to the size/shape of your pipe/hose.

Hi thanks for reply. This is all second hand via my Dad, so sorry it is confusing! He says there is no round outlet, just oblong?

You should be able to buy a converter from the rectangular outlet to standard 100mm or 125mm trunking-try your local plumber's merchants.

maybe a picture might help?

adapters are available, but without seeing it, it isn't easy to guess the right one.

Belling is a brand under the Glen Dimplex umbrella. Theres a 120 (might be 150??)mm circular hole on the top of the unit for you to connect your extract duct to. Whichever a standard duct kit from a shed will fit it. The "chimney" itself is just for show. This unit can be run in recirc mode with carbon filters as well as extract mode so you don't actually have to connect it to anything if its an issue.
