How to place a vent?

[srinath]

Hi I am currently installing a cooker hood. But the electrician is saying he will not be able to vent it out.

How much wall length and width needed for the duct to go out. ?

Attached some pictures for reference.
Please guide

Boxed in, around 6" x 6", or 160 x 160 mm. Get someone who can do it properly, too much hard work for your electrician?

A cooker hood is almost pointless, unless properly vented outdoors.

thanks for your reply. With the pictures can it be put through the wall. The wall at the corner is quite thick but am not sure what is behind the wall , it sounds like a wood but not sure why such a big bulky column of wall if there. !

You will need to provide some diagram showing the relationship between the hood, and the nearest outside wall.

Totally pointless, except as an ornament.
