DESCRIPTION
The listed air purication unit is suitable for the removal of smoke, grease laden
vapors and odors in commercial cooking installations. Hood Depot KAP purication
units are specied in CFM ratings from 5,000 to 40,000 CFM to handle all size kitchens with any cooking equipment conguration. Grease ducts must still conform to
NFPA 96 and your local mechanical codes applicable to gauges, sizing and clean-
out requirements.
If a grease re has occurred, the system should be dismantled and inspected by a
professional engineer. Hood Depot International™ cannot be held responsible for
grease duct systems that are not properly maintained or have been subjected to a
grease re.

INSTALLATION
Installation must be done in strict accordance with the designed airow, exhaust
fan placement, lters and construction details required by this manual. Lifting the
unit in place must be accomplished by using an equipment lift (rated above the unit
weight) or by hoisting using the proper hoisting straps (see below).
PREPARATION
1. Installation site should be clear to safely lift unit into proper position. Be sure
hoisting equipment and/or lifts are adequate to the weight load of the unit according
to manufacturer’s estimated weight.
2. Position unit to allow at least 34” of clearance on the access side of unit to open
door, replace lters and perform maintenance.
3. Unit should be located as close to the space it serves as practical to avoid lengthy
and complex duct runs. This will reduce total re hazard exposure and amount of
duct to be cleaned.
4. When the unit is ground or oor mounted, make sure it sits at least 6” (minimum)
off the ground for interior location and 18” (minimum) above ground for exterior loca-
tions including roof mounted.
5. The exhaust fan must be located between the air purication unit and the discharge duct. DO NOT locate the fan between the hood and the air purication unit
as this would cause the KAP to be under positive pressure.
6. It is recommended that the unit’s grease drains are connected to the building
grease interceptor or an approved building drain system.

INSTALLATION Cont’d.)
DUCTWORK
Performance of the air purication unit is highly affected by ductwork conguration,
proper alignment and seals. The following airow factors must be accounted for:
1. Any change in duct direction must be at least ve duct diameters away from the
unit inlet. The maximum velocity at the inlet of the unit must be less than 1,000 feet
per minute.
2. The air purication unit requires commercial (NFPA 96) or Listed grease ductwork. Clearance ratings of any ductwork connected to the unit apply to the unit as
well and must be installed in accordance with IMC, NFPA 96 and state and local
codes.
3. All grease ducts before or after the KAP must be designed and installed as per
NFPA 96, local mechanical/building codes, SMACNA and any/all state and local
codes.
GREASE/WATER DRAINS
Each section of the unit contains a drain that should be connected to an approved
grease interceptor or to an approved drainage point to allow water to drain away
from the unit. If installed outdoors, the drains must be piped in such a way to avoid
water build-up in pipes that could burst in freezing conditions. It is recommended
that units located where freezing may occur have electric heat tape.
Drain line must be pitched for proper drainage

ROOF INSTALLATION
When roof mounting, the KAP unit should be mounted on a roof-curb or rail at least
18” above the roof surface. Secure the unit on a support frame with at least eight (8)
#14 anchor bolts, welding 1” long every 12” or AHJ approved fasteners. Roof curb
rail to be mounted according to federal, state and local codes. Drain lines and roof
curb rails that penetrate the roof need to be properly ashed to avoid roof leaks. Be
sure to allow proper clearances for service access doors (see page 4).
INDOOR/FLOOR MOUNTED INSTALLATIONS
When mounting the KAP unit on a oor, make sure it is mounted on support rails
with a minimum of 8” from the bottom of unit to the oor. Verify with your plumber
that this is sufcient clearance for the drains. Secure the unit through the unit support frame to the rail with at least eight (8) #14 sheet metal screws, anchor bolts or
AHJ approved fasteners. Secure support rails to the oor in accordance with federal, state and local codes. Make sure the unit has proper clearance for the service
access doors (see page 4). Make sure the bottom of the unit (not including support
frame) has at least 18” clearance from combustibles as per NFPA 96 and federal,
state and local codes.
