Advance Planning POWER SUPPLY ADVANCE PLANNING IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully) Ductwork Planning • These vent hoods are equipped for 8" 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 100 ft. equivalent length for any duct configurations.
Advance Planning DUCT FITTINGS This Hood Must Use an 8d Round Duct. It Can Transition to a 3-1/4d x 12d Duct. Duct Piece 3-1/4" x 12" straight Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors. 90° elbow NOTE: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths! Maximum duct length: 100 foot for range hoods. Flexible ducting: If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled.
