Calculating Vent System Length

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

2.5 ft

 

(0.8 m)

90° elbow

5.0 ft

 

(1.5 m)

Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).

Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail

 

leads.

2.

Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of

 

copper wire using special connectors and/or tools

 

designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear wall of the range hood.

Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and ordinances.
