Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on this forum. Have searched for a few hours now and cannot find the answer to my problem. A while ago I replaced the roof on my house and the contractor placed a cap over the kitchen range vent pipe with a built in damper. This past weekend, I started a new project of replacing the vent hood with an over the range microwave with built in ventilation. After removing the old vent hood, the pipe going to the roof just slid down! After checking the attic space, I found out that the vent pipe was not affixed to the cap in any way and was just being held up by the vent hood.
The cap on the roof does not have a pipe fitting built in for the pipe to attach to. My question is, how do I seal my vent pipe to the cap so the vented air doesn't end up in the attic?
Thanks,
Kash
