Grilles and Weatherhoods
Grilles
Adjustable grilles should be used to balance the flow rates into and out of various rooms.
Grilles or diffusers should be positioned high on the wall or in the ceiling. Kitchen exhaust grilles must never be connected to a range hood. They should be installed at least 4 feet (1.2m) horizontally away from the stove. This grille includes a removable grease filter. Canadian building codes require that kitchen grilles be equipped with washable filters.
