Installing the Back Supply Plenum
Install the Supply Duct Collar
1. Find the center of the back supply plenum.
2. If the back supply plenum is to have 
one opening, cut the opening such 
that it is centered at L /2 from the 
plenum end. (Fig.1)
3. If the back supply plenum is to have 
two openings, cut openings such 
that they are centered at L /4 from 
each end of the plenum. 
(Fig. 2)
4. Place the duct 
collar(s) over the 
opening(s), fastening 
with screws or 
tack-welds every 
4 to 6 in. (10.16 to 
15.24cm). (Fig. 3)
Hang the Plenum
5.  Hang the back 
supply plenum 
from the ceiling.
  The back supply plenum 
needs to be mounted 31.25in. 
(79.375 cm) above the finished 
floor. This is measured from the 
lowest rear edge of the back 
supply plenum to the finished 
floor. (Fig. 4)
  Hang using threaded rod 
placed through the hanger brackets.
6.  Fasten the back supply to the wall, going through the 
lower back supply wall.
 •  These fasteners are to help maintain the location of 
the back supply, and are not intended to hold the 
weight of the back supply unit.
 •  The fasteners should not interfere with the 
removable air diffusers.
Ductwork
Exhaust - As specified in NFPA 96, Ch. 7.5 (latest 
edition), exhaust duct systems must be constructed in 
the following manner:
Materials: Ducts shall be constructed of and supported 
by carbon steel not less than 1.37 mm (0.054 in.) (No. 
16 MSG) in thickness, or stainless steel not less than 
1.09 mm (0.043 in.) (No. 18 MSG) in thickness.
Installation: All seams, joints, penetrations, and duct to 
hood collar connections shall have a liquid-tight external 
weld. If you have an automatic fire damper, please refer 
to that manual for installation instructions now.
Supply - Supply ductwork (where applicable) should 
be connected to the hood in a manner approved by the 
local code authorities. 
For proper installation of duct collars when they are 
shipped unattached, see page 8.
NOTE
For hoods with fire dampers in the exhaust and 
supply duct collars, an access panel for cleaning and 
inspection shall be provided in the duct. This panel 
shall be as close to the hood as possible but should 
not exceed 18 in. (45.72 cm).
Continuous Capture Plenum Hoods
1. Remove the support angles 
provided for support during 
shipping on the open 
end panels. Install 
and level both 
hoods.
2. After leveling, secure the 
hoods together by tack-
welding and/or bolting the 
angles that are located at 
the top of the hoods along 
its width (Fig. 5).
3. Next, fasten the hoods 
together at its inside 
plenum profile using 
u-clips and bolts (Fig.6). 
Caulk this joint with NSF 
Approved silicone caulk 
(GE SCS1009 or its 
equivalent). The caulk is 
not provided.
