My hood fan vents into the top of this metal box, which then has a vent to the outside about halfway down the metal box. The box itself it maybe two half-height shoe boxes in size. I looked pretty hard, and the closest I could find was that it might be related to collecting condensation.
Does anyone know what this is for?
Thanks
I should say! The picture that comes up for this album is clearly the outside vent and is not what I’m talking about. Click on it to see all the pictures!
I’ll be honest, I’m having a hard time visualizing what the heck is going on in these pictures.
The hood should have some sort of vent to the outside of the home. Do you have that?
My hood just goes straight out of the house.
Yeah, I tried naming the files to help, but then Google Photos doesn’t make it easy to see those.
The first picture is the vent outside. Essentially, the hood fan (inside) exhausts into the top of the metal box that’s in the wall. On the other side of that box, around the middle, is a vent that goes outside. Then there’s just a dead-end area of the metal box where some bugs have collected.
