DUCTING |
Aminimumof 6” round or
Always use rigid type metal duct work only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Use calculation worksheet to compute total duct work.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reduce duct size as far away from opening as possible.
If turns or transitions are required:
Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.
Minimummount height between range top to hood bot- tom should be no less than 28".
Maximum mount height should be no higher than 36".
It is importantto install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mountedtoo low could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mountedtoo high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer's height clearance requirements and recommended hood mountingheight above range. Always check your local codes for any differences.
*Minimum ceiling height of 98”. Hood mounted at 28” above cooking surface.
**Maximum ceiling height of 124". Hood mounted at 36" above cooking surface.
Minimum Duct Size:
Round - 6” minimumat 600 cfm Round - 10” to 8” minimum at 1000 cfm Rect angular - 3 1/4” x 10” minimum only if using internal blower at 600 cfm. Using rectangular ductwork will require a transition adapter (not provided, but readily available at most hardware stores).
