 exterior 
blowers are installed 
at the duct termination 
point (roof or exterior 
wall), providing the 
greatest distance 
between the point of 
use and the blower. 
Electrical connections to 
both the hood and the 
exterior blower are required.
Exterior blowers may be vented 
through the roof or wall, with the 
goal of minimizing sharp turns in 
the duct that can impede airflow.

 Exterior blowers provide exceptional performance and 
minimal sound levels by moving the blower to an exterior wall 
or the roof. Exterior blowers will handle the rigorous needs of 
professional-style cook tops and ranges. Durable, sealed blower 
housings are crafted from weather-resistant aluminum and can be 
painted to match the roof or wall color scheme. The table below 
will help you select an exterior blower matched to the heat output 
of your range hood. See page 70 for more information on selecting 
the right blower for your range or cooking style.
