NOTE: Duct covers must be installed as shown in this book. Do not “build in” the duct cover. If service is required, the duct cover must be removed to access hood components.
Installation Preparation
ADVANCE PLANNING
- Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
- Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
- Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed 100 ft. equivalent length for any duct configurations.
- Refer to the “Duct Fittings” chart on page 6 to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.
- When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements.
Visit Monogram.com for available makeup air solutions.
CAUTION To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside—do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
- Use metal ductwork only. These hoods must use a 6″ round duct. They can transition to 3-1/4″ x 12″, reducing the maximum equivalent duct length to 75 feet.
- Install a wall cap with a damper or roof cap at the exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition needed in advance.
Wall Framing for Adequate Support
- This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided. The hood must be secured to vertical studs in the wall, or to a horizontal support. See page 9.
- We strongly recommend that the vent hood with duct cover be on-site before final framing and wall finishing. This will also help to accurately locate the ductwork and electrical service.

DUCT FITTINGS
This Hood Must Use a” Round Duct.
It Can Transition to a 3-1/4” x 12” Duct.
Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length: 100 ft. for range hoods.
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
DO NOT use flexible plastic ducting.
NOTE: Any home ventilation system, such as a ventilation hood, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas water heaters, and other naturally vented systems. To minimize the chance of interruption of such naturally vented systems, follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by NFPA and ASHRAE. When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit Monogram.com for available makeup air solutions.
