AXC Range Hood Exhaust Fans

Quiet, Powerful Exhaust

Applications

AXC Range Hood Exhaust Fans may be used as principle exhaust fans or as booster fans to improve the efficiency of existing residential range hoods. AXC fans may be speed controlled with an independent speed controller, or by tying into an existing range hood controller. Rugged, heavy gauge housings have a baked epoxy coating inside and out for superior corrosion protection.

How to size a Range Hood

Exhaust Fan

The following recommendations follow guidelines published by the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI):

For a Wall Mounted Range Hood:

-100 cfm per foot of hood width

￿i.e. a 36” range would require a minimum 300 cfm

For an Island Style Range Hood:

-150 cfm per foot of hood width

￿i.e. a 36” range would require a minimum 450 cfm

Note: Local building codes, as well as any recom- mendations provided by the range and range hood manufacturers, should be consulted before making a fan selection.

Helpful Tips

Prior to selecting product and materials, consult local building codes.

A range hood grease filter, commonly found in pre-fabricated hoods, must be used in conjunction with AXC fans.

AXC fans may be mounted at any angle.

AXC fan sound levels decrease as the installation distance from the range hood increases.
