I recently purchased a range hood that is supposed to work with 10" ducts, but when I measured the transition mount that came with the hood (pictured below), it's actually only 9.5" in diameter. This is not even a size that's offered by the manufacturer (they only offer sizes like 6", 8", and 10"). I wonder what I can do about it. Thanks!

Get a 10" duct and some duct tape to seal. – George Anderson May 10 '23 at 04:02
Some people say that a duct that is above needs to fit inside a connecting duct that is below. Following this logic, a 10" duct would need to fit inside the mount opening, which is not possible. Would that be a problem? – Alex May 10 '23 at 04:58
10" pipe goes over it. – justin j May 10 '23 at 11:21
