accordingly.
Typical duct arrangement countertop series.
To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent
system:
1. Minimize the duct run length and number of
transitions and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.

• Install ductwork so the piece of duct nearest the
downdraft unit slots INTO the next piece of the duct.
Secure the joints with self-tapping screws and apply
duct tape around the joints to ensure an airtight seal.
