Using the UL Listed Fastener Provided
1.  Drill a 9/32 in. hole for the 1/4 in. bolt from the inside of the supply plenum to 
inside the hood. Fasteners are to be located max. 6 in. (15.24 cm) from the 
end of the hood with max. spacing between bolts 36 in. (91.44 cm)

  DO NOT bOlT The supply pleNum TO a fire/uTiliTy cabiNeT.
2.  Push bolt through hole, attach the washer and nut.
3.  Hand tighten, then use a wrench until fully tightened. Caulk around bolts 
from inside of hood as necessary.
1.  Insert 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) diameter threaded rod (by others) into 
hanger brackets on the supply plenum top. Raise and hang 
the external supply plenum from adequate roof or ceiling 
supports. 
2.  The external supply plenum should be resting lightly against 
the hood. The hood is used to position the plenum only, it is 
not intended to support the plenum. All hanger brackets must 
be used and the plenum must be properly supported while 
lifting to prevent damage or distortion. The supply plenum 
must be hung level to operate properly.
  (Optional fastening of supply plenum to hood. See directions 
below).
 3. It is recommended that caulk be applied at the mating seams 
and surfaces of the plenum, the hood, and the wall. If the 
supply plenum is next to a wall, you will also need to caulk 
around the surface next to the wall. Caulk the joints with NSF 
Approved silicone caulk (GE SCS1009, or its equivalent). The 
caulk is not provided.
Installing the Supply Duct Collar to the Plenum
1.  Place the duct collar(s) over the opening, fastening with tack-
welds at 1 to 2 in. (2.54 to 5.08 cm) intervals, or sheet metal 
screws at 3 to 6 in. (7.62 to 15.24 cm) intervals.
