DUCTING
A minimum of 8” round ducting must be used to
maintainmaximumairowefciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ductscouldrestrictairowbyupto50%.
Alsousecalculation(onpage5)tocomputetotal
available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far
away from hood duct output and as far apart,
between the two as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 30”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
36”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
resultinheatdamageandrehazard;whilehoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
loseitsperformanceandefciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
