This will help to accurately locate studs, ductwork and electrical service.
-
Duct cover accessory comes with a lower and upper duct cover and installation hardware.
-
The installation hardware includes mounting brackets to secure duct covers to the wall.
-
The lower duct cover alone can be used and must be secured with the duct cover bracket.
-
See table below for duct cover kit part numbers based on model.
-
See the next page for duct cover installation height information.
INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
The hood duct covers can be adjusted for different ceiling heights depending
on the distance between the bottom of the hood and the cooktop (distance X).
See Installation Height Table.
INSTALLATION HEIGHT TABLE
ADVANCE PLANNING
Duct Install Planning
- This hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling with an 8” round duct for 30” and 36” models and a 10” round duct for 48” models.
- Use metal ductwork only.
- Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:
- Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.
- Maintain a constant duct size.
- Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
NOTE : Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.
- Maximum equivalent duct length for 100 CFM: 150 foot for vent hoods.
- Install a roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Purchase the roof cap and any transition and length of duct needed in advance.
- When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. 8” or 10” round duct universal make up air kit can be purchased locally. Vent system can terminate through the roof.
