PLAN DUCTWORK INSTALLATION

For Ducted Installations Only:

Begin planning ductwork by deciding where duct will run
between hood and outside. For best performance, use
shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of elbows.
In more complex situations, 3-1/4” x 10” duct can be
converted to round duct by means of a transition. FIGS 1A ­1E show several choices.

FIG. 1C

ROOF CAP

3-1/4" X 10" DUCT

FIG. 1C: Ducting straight up through roof using 3-1/4” x 10”
duct. For single story installations.

FIG. 1D

ROOF CAP

FIG. 1A

WALL CAP

FIG. 1A: Ducting directly through outside wall. If wall cap is
used directly off back of hood, check to make sure that
damper flap in damper/duct connector on hood does not
interfere with damper flap in wall cap. If it does, remove flap
on hood damper/duct connector.
