Venting requirements

Horizontal wall venting

 

Now start...

Venting system must terminate to the outside.

Do not terminate the vent in an attic or other enclosed space.

Do not use four-inch laundry-type wall caps.

Do not use plastic vent.

Vent system needed for installation is not included. Wall or roof caps used must have backdraft damper.

Determine which outside venting method needs to be used. NOTE: If a non-vented (recirculating) installation is desired, follow instructions on Panel D.

The length of the vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the vent system should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around exhaust hood. For the most efficient and quiet operation, it is recommended that the range be vented vertically through the roof through 7" round vent system.

Figures 1-4 show common venting methods and what types of materials are needed.
