SITE PREPARATION
Ventilators should be installed in accordance with the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association Bulletin NFPA96 “Vapor Removal From Cooking Equipment” taking specific note of the following:
-
To safely lift equipment into the final installed position you must make sure the area of installation is clear. Make sure you have enough room after installation to service unit easily.
-
Verify the location that the hood will be installed so there is nothing to interfere when installing the unit.
-
Review your plans and specifications for your project.
-
Confirm and verify the supports will support the weight of the hood. If installing light fixtures:
a. Have electrician follow wiring diagram as noted in full Instruction Manual. -
Lifting the hood into place, mark the location for the duct penetration. Measure over from the inside edge of ductwork hole 12” and cut 4” diameter hole.
-
After cutting side wall and ensuring it is framed out for strength:
a. Lift hood in the location where it will be mounted
b. Bring duct through the trailer/truck wall (Figure 1)
c. Cut excess ductwork off of hood (Figure 1 – Item 1) to fit flush to the
side wall
d. Use Hi-Temp sealant on the interior of ductwork (Figure 2 – Item 4)

11. All wiring should be in accordance with local ordinances and the National Electric Code.
IMC, NFPA96 and local authorities having jurisdiction may call for a minimum clearance (typically 18” for Type 1, grease rated hoods) between the cooking hood(s), exhaust ducts, and building materials which are combustible. However, IMC and NFPA96 do outline acceptable clearance reduction methods which most local jurisdicting authorities will accept along with the clearance reduction methods approved in the manufacturer’s UL listing for Type 1, grease rated hoods.
