Planning the Duct Work
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside the house or building. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
• Tape all duct joints securely to prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors from entering the home. Doing so
will also improve system efficiency.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCT WORK.
• DO NOT install more than one blower to increase the length of the duct run. Even small differences between blower
air flow rates can greatly reduce the air draw by the raised vent.
You must install one of the Dacor remote or in-line blower
models listed below for the raised vent to operate properly.
See the blower installation instructions for directions. Only
one blower shall be installed.

•All duct work materials (including screws and duct tape)
must be purchased separately by the customer.
•When planning new duct work, always look for the
shortest, most direct route to the outside. See page
5 for examples.
•You can increase the duct size over the duct run if
desired. To prevent a back draft, never decrease the
duct size over the run.
•Do not rely on duct tape alone to seal duct joints.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and
tape all joints with certified silver tape or duct tape.
•Use sheet metal screws as required to support the duct
weight.
•To prevent back-drafts, a damper at the duct outlet may
also be required.
6
Installation Specifications
•On side exhaust installations, allow five inches of space
on the side for the ADT2 exhaust transition plus additional space for the duct attached to it (X).
•Make sure duct work does not interfere with floor joists
or wall studs.
•With concrete slab construction, “box-in” the duct work
and blower wiring to prevent collapsing or other damage when the wet concrete is poured.
•Cross-drafts or air currents from adjacent open windows or doors, heating/air conditioning outlets, ceiling
fans and recessed ceiling lights reduce vent efficiency.
Duct Work Design Tips
•Wherever possible, reduce the number of transitions
and turns to as few sharp angles as possible. Two
staggered 45° angles are better than one 90°. Keep
turns as far away from the hood exhaust as possible,
with as much space between each bend as possible.
•For best performance, use round duct instead of rectangular when possible, especially when elbows are
required.
•If multiple elbows are used, try to keep a minimum of
24” of straight duct between them. Avoid “S” or “back to
back” configurations of adjacent elbows.
•Do not use flexible metal duct.
Calculating the Maximum Duct Run Length
•Do not use duct work that is smaller in cross-sectional
area than the required duct sizes in the table to the
right.
•For best performance, keep the duct run as short as
possible and never exceed the maximums stated at the
right.
•The maximum straight duct length for the raised vent
system depends on the model of remote or in-line
blower used with the vent system and the number of
elbows and transitions used. The Equivalent Number of Feet for each elbow and transition (see table) must
be subtracted from the maximum straight length to
compensate for wind resistance. To determine the
maximum allowable length of the duct work, subtract all
of the equivalent lengths of the elbows and transitions
listed at the right from the Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length.

ATD2
For example, for a raised vent system using 3 ¼” X
10” rectangular duct, two (2) 3 ¼” X 10” 90° elbows, a
3 ¼” X 10” rectangular to 10” round transition, and a
REMP16 remote blower:
•From the Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length
table below, the maximum length without transitions
and elbows is 60 feet.
•The equivalent length of each 90° elbow is 15 feet.
•The equivalent length of 45° elbow is 2 feet.
•The equivalent length of the transition is 4 feet.
•The total equivalent length of the above components is:
15 feet + 15 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet = 36 feet.
•The maximum amount of straight duct that can be used with a REMP16 and the above components is: 60 feet 34 feet = 24 feet.

* The equivalent lengths of roof and wall caps vary with
model and configuration. For equivalent length, contact the
manufacturer or a qualified HVAC specialist.
• If the electrical service (electrical outlet) does not meet
the Electrical Specifications on page 4, do not
proceed with the installation. Call a licensed electrician
and have an electrical outlet installed that meets the
specifications.
• Install the vent only in a vertical orientation. Do not
mount the vent on a slant or angle.
• Do not enlarge or modify the exhaust knock outs or
cut an exhaust hole in a location on the chassis other
than those shown. Doing so may cause an increase in
noise and decrease performance.
NOTE: The raised vent installs in the back of the cutout,
separate from the cooking appliance. Install the raised vent
before installing the cooking appliance.
2. Cut and remove the foil material inside the knock-out
hole. If you fail to remove the foil, the vent will not work.
3. If the unit will vent through the bottom or side:
•Attach the supplied ATD2 transition to exhaust
location with the provided sheet metal screws.
