Installing Dryer Vent Hood? I just replaced my dryer vent near the flexible aluminum and...

I just replaced my dryer vent near the flexible aluminum and replaced the vent hood as well. On the vent hood, here are 4 screw holes supposedly to secure the hood to the outside wall. As in that are no existing screw holes on the wall, I am kind of reluctant to drill topical holes to it (and it requires a great deal of care too...).

I was wondering as to whether within is any other way (other than using srews) to protected the hood to the wall. I guess I need something sticky and hastily curing. Can I use tile adhesive or cement? I tried using silicone sealant but I guess it's not strong adequate to hold the hood (unless perhaps if I hold it till it's cured).

Thanks

Answers:    Are you drilling a latest 4 inch hole for the hood to slide into to? If there is already a 4 inch hole surrounded by your wall, then in recent times slide the vent hood into it and you can drill your screw holes using the vent as a guide. You really should use 4 screws if at adjectives possible. If the surface is wood siding then this should be glib. If it is brick, it can still be done you just necessitate a masonry bit to drill your pilot holes. If vinyl siding just drill right through it into the sheathing underneath. Once you've attached it carefully, apply a good bead of caulk around the turn-up of the vend hood where it meet the house to make it weather tight.

In that overnight case, yes you can use construction adhesive to trademark the vent hood to the brick wall. Apply a good bead adjectives the way around where on earth it touches the house. You will probably have any lean something heaving against the hood on the outside until it dries so that it bonds tightly against the brick.

Us ethe construction adhesive within the 4 corners. Hold in place until the sticky stuff grabs. Then, the subsequent day trademark all the opening around it with silicon.
