Design Information PRODUCT CLEARANCES DUCT COVER ACCESSORIES *Height to Ceiling 20" For ZV42I 24" For ZV54I 30" Min. 36" Max. 36" Min. ZV42I * 9" for ceiling heights 7’11" to 8’5" using the supplied support frame and duct cover. Order ZX42DC10 for ceiling heights of 8"6" to 10’4". These vent hoods must be installed 30" min. to 36" max. above the cooking surface. Exact installation height is determined by ceiling height. The cooking surface should be at least 36” above the floor.
Advance Planning ADVANCE PLANNING POWER SUPPLY Ductwork Planning • These vent hoods are equipped for 10” round ductwork. • Determine the exact location of the vent hood. • Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. • Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed 150 ft. equivalent length for any duct configurations. • Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.
Advance Planning INSTALLATION HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS Actual Ceiling Height • These vent hoods must be installed 30" min. and 36" max. above the cooking surface – regardless of the ceiling height. Therefore, installation height of the hood depends on the exact ceiling height of the kitchen. • Accessories are available for ceiling heights 8’6" and up to 10’4".
Advance Planning DUCT FITTINGS Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors. For best results, use 10" diameter duct. Note: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths! Equivalent Quantity Total Length* Used Length Duct Piece 10" round to 8" round Round, straight 1 ft.
