QUOTE(earl-ku @ Jan 29 2016, 03:43 PM) no ler ... i bought the hood and hob myself, and got the kitchen cabinet fella to install ... but end up like this ... What you can do is to get short 6" white PVC pipe (probably free excess cut) and make it as perfect rigid flexible duct end. Cup it nicely over the hood and tape it nicely on top of the hood, unless you want to epoxy it yeah was looking for an adapter ... else might need to get those metal ring to force it to wrap around the outlet cap |

It looks like you have flexible plastic piping instead of aluminum. The best possible solution is to go to shop that sell plumbing/PVC piping and get PVC pipe reducer 6" to 5" or called PCV Reducer Coupling. The problem is the piping now is following the metric size. Maybe have to order from country that still use inches like USA actually now if i forfully tape it up ... also can wan ... but my top portion of the hood is exposed... will look ugly |

I think there is no such thing as low profile one. This is why I previously suggested you find PVC pipe just big enough to slot to the hood exhaust hole to enlarge its outer diameter. This way you can slot in your flexible hose with less gap before taping it. This is more like homemade slim converter damn - some things are not meant to be DIY'ed |

This is more like homemade slim converter ok i get what you mean, as the outlet exhaust has too little space to tape on the pvc pipeso i just need to find a slightly smaller than 5 inch pvc pipe this is the easiest solution for now will go check it out - thanks man |

Ts, my hood has exactly the same problem as yours. From teka. Solution would be to use an adaptor, as shown by idoblu above. Bought mine for rm80, stainless steel one.
