Pro Wall Hood Installation 10 Install Ductwork To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. 10" (254) round, rigid metal duct is recommended for pro ventilation hoods. A straight, short run is most effective and will ensure proper operation. For best results, duct run should not exceed 50' (15 m). For runs exceeding 50' (15 m), a higher CFM blower may be required to maintain proper air flow and performance. A remote blower installed on a short duct run may increase the potential for noise.
