I have a question for you all.
I installed a micro wave above a 4 burner gas cook top. The micro oven is 19″ above cook top. I vented the micro straight up into the attic. I used 3″ x 10″ square thru the cabinet into the attic and converted to 6″ round from there. A total of 2 90 deree elbows were used and no more than 10 ft total length of vent pipe. taped and screwed all joints. I felt good and safe.
AND then someone mentioned code requires “B” type vent for this situation. He said b-vent is double walled.
I never considered this let alone heard of this. Do any of you know the truth. And most important for me is if I created a dangerous situation.
Thanks in advance for responses.
