This Hood Must

Use 6" Round Duct It Can Transition to 3-1/4" x 10" or

3-1/4" x 12" Duct

Note: Do not exceed maximum permissable equivalent lengths!

Maximum duct length: 100 foot for range hoods.

Flexible ducting:

If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.

Do NOT use flexible plastic ducting.

Note: Any home ventilation system, such as a ventilation hood, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other naturally vented systems. To minimize the chance of interruption of such naturally vented systems, follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by NFPA and ASHRAE.
