IMPORTANT: The ceiling structure must be capable of supporting
the weight of the hood (approximately 300 pounds) and any
inadvertent user contact loads. The hood support frame will
be supported by the 2 x 4 min. cross-framing.

Ductwork

• Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.
For satisfactory performance, duct run should not
exceed 100-feet equivalent length for any duct

configuration.

• Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to
the outdoors.

• This vent hood must use 8" round duct. The 8" round
duct can transition to 3-1/4" x 12".
