Advance Planning

ADVANCE PLANNING

Ductwork Planning

• These vent hoods are equipped for 8" round ductwork.

• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.

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

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

• Use rigid metal ductwork only.

• Install a roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Order the cap and any transitions needed in advance.

• When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.

Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support

• These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided. The ceiling structure must be capable of supporting the weight of the hood and any inadvertent user contact loads (approximately 200 pounds). The hood support frame will be supported by 2 x 4 cross framing.

• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cooktop or countertop below is installed.

Accessory Duct Cover

• All models are shipped with a duct cover for ceiling heights of 7'-11" to 9'.

ZX92510 accessory 36-3/4"duct cover is available to reach 9'-1"to 10'-1" ceiling heights. The accessory should be ordered with the hood and be on site before final framing and wall finishing.

Advance Planning

DUCT FITTINGS

This Hood Must Use an

8d Round Duct. It Can

Transition to a

3-1/4d x 12d Duct.

Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.

NOTE: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths!

Maximum duct length: 100 foot for range hoods.

Flexible ducting:

If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.

DO NOT use flexible plastic ducting.

NOTE: Any home ventilation system, such as a ventilation hood, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other naturally vented systems. To minimize the chance of interruption of such naturally vented systems, follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by NFPA and ASHRAE. When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
