Planning Ductwork Installation

(This section for UXT2030AA, UXT2036AA, UXT3030AA, and UXT3036AA hoods only. UXT4030AA and UXT4036AA hoods skip this section and go on to "Prepare the Hood".)

Begin planning ductwork by deciding where duct will run between the range hood and the outside. For best performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum numaber of elbows. There are several choices shown - FIGS. A - F below.

FIG. A

Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to make sure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or backdrafts. If this condition does exist, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap it is easier to duct vertically and then use an elbow as shown FIG. B.

In more complex ducting situations, a 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular ducting range hood (UXT3030AA and UXT3036AA hoods) can be converted to a round duct by means of a transition.

FIG. C. Straight up through the roof us- ing 7" round duct (for single story instal- lations - UXT2030AA and UTX2036AA only)

FIG. D. Ducting straight up through the roof using 3¼" x 10" rectangular duct. (For single story installations UXT3030AA and UXT3036AA hoods only.)

FIG. E. Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story installations) or through the soffit space above the cabinets (where the soffit connects to an outside wall).

PREPARE THE HOOD

FIG. F. Straight up through the roof using 6" round duct (for single-story installations).
