Advice on Heavy Range Hood Installation
Hi, I bought a new range hood to replace the old one. The old range hood was 10KG but the new is twice that at 20KG. I have the IKEA SEKTION cabinet system which is mounted on their Rail System, on a concrete wall. The set up is sturdy but the cabinet I need to attach the range hood to has holes so I'm questioning the structural integrity. I have been thinking of hanging it on the concrete wall using Tapcon + Washer and also attach to the upper cabinet with screws and washers that came with the unit. I also have to make the hole bigger to 6 in. because it was a 5 in. before. Any advice, suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks so much. https://preview.redd.it/mftnxj0pxq3f1.jpg?width=1838&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a278efcabb59f2fbaf998dc05e812b82991b74cf https://preview.redd.it/3dtszh0pxq3f1.jpg?width=3266&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53806e5bba9b4a25c4109ad8d65cf2e707b3f107 https://preview.redd.it/jf413i0pxq3f1.jpg?width=293&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8a69b943fd64f082dca8fe9d8c683d4fbdd578b submitted by /u/the_lazycoder [link] [comments]
