Stainless Steel Chimney Extension for SNDOAS GD17 and GD24 - Black

In this review of the Stainless Steel Chimney Extension for SNDOAS GD17 and GD24 series, the bottom line is simple: this is a purpose-built upper chimney piece designed for owners who need added height without replacing the entire hood. The review finds it best for those with the specified SNDOAS wall-mounted models who want a seamless black finish and reliable fit. It is not a standalone chimney, so buyers must confirm their model before purchasing to avoid returns and installation trouble.

Key Features

• Exclusive compatibility: Built specifically for GD1760BPA, GD1775BPA, GD1790BPA and GD2475BPB so it fits the intended SNDOAS chimney system without modification.
• Adjustable height pairing: The 31.5in upper piece combines with the original 15.5in lower chimney to reach a maximum height of 47in, providing additional ceiling clearance for 9ft to 10ft rooms.
• Seamless embedding design: Slightly narrower width allows the upper section to slide into the lower chimney for a clean, integrated look and adjustable final height.
• No extra hardware required: The extension reuses the original mounting bracket and screws, so installation stays simple and avoids extra parts purchases.
• Durable finish: Constructed from stainless steel with a black painted finish to match the wall-mounted chimney hood and resist kitchen conditions.

Who It's For

This chimney extension is aimed at SNDOAS owners who already have one of the compatible wall-mounted hoods and need extra vertical reach for higher ceilings. It suits installers and DIYers who prefer a direct replacement upper piece that integrates with the original lower chimney and hardware.

It is not for buyers who do not own the listed SNDOAS models or who expect a full chimney assembly; this product replaces only the upper section and will not fit other brands or unmatched models.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Designed for an exact fit with the listed SNDOAS models, reducing trimming or modification.
• Good perceived quality and finish, matching customer feedback that notes fit and quality.
• Straightforward installation using existing mounting bracket and screws.
• Provides adjustable combined height for 9ft to 10ft ceilings when paired with the lower chimney.

Cons

• Only the upper piece is included, so it is useless without the original lower chimney from the compatible hood.
• High return rates reported when buyers accidentally order it for incompatible models, so compatibility must be checked carefully.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The Stainless Steel Chimney Extension is a practical, good-value replacement for owners of the specified SNDOAS hood models who need additional height and a matching black finish. Its tailored fit and reuse of original hardware make installation straightforward, but buyers must confirm model compatibility since it is an upper-piece-only component and will not work with other brands.
