Installing the Wells Universal Ventless Hood systems to base mounted side walls, and
installing ceiling mounted side walls. Ceiling mounting instructions for Wells Universal
Ventless Hoods.
Plan the installation area for the hood. The following diagram includes the required clearances for
the hood installation, this is regardless of the type of hood mount, stand or ceiling mount, and equipment
underneath that is to be used under the hood.
The ceiling height must be 108 in. (274.3 cm) for installation of a unit with front, horizontal discharge, or
120 in. (304.8 cm) for installation of a unit with vertical discharge on 6 [six] inch legs. This requirement
is for both base and ceiling mount installations.
Wall clearances specified per NFPA 96, clause 4.2 must be maintained between the hood and combustible,
limited-combustible, and noncombustible materials. For reference, these clearances are 18 in. (457mm) to
combustible material, 3 in. (76 mm) to limited-combustible material, and 0 in. (0mm) to noncombustible
material.
Allow 24” of access on the service side (left side) of the hood. Check your local juristictional codes for any
additional restrictions or requirements.
Allow 6” of clearance on the right side of the hood for installation of the remote pull station.
!CRITICAL!
If the installation is a ceiling mount, the ceiling structure must be able to support the weight of the hood.
The structural integrity of the ceiling, and the ceiling modifications that are required must be determined by
a structural engineer. This is the responsibility of the installation contractor.

A base mounted hood will need to have the base assembled in place prior to raising the
hood and installing it on to the base.
1. Uncrate the hood and all components.
2. Assemble the base in the location that the hood will be located.
3. Locate the required hardware to assemble the base. The hardware required includes
1/4-20 UNC x .75 long Hex Head Cap Screws (bolt), 1/4 Flat Washers, and 1/4-20 UNC
Hex Nuts.
4. Use a flat, smooth, and clean floor surface, with all debris or obsturctions removed
to avoid damage. Align the two rear panels and secure to each other with one bolt, flat
washer, and nut at each hole location (8 places).

1.2 ASSEMBLING THE CEILING MOUNTED HOOD FOR INSTALLATION TO THE CEILING.
The skirt for the hood will be assembled first and then attached to the hood. Then, the
entire assembly will be mounted to the ceiling.
When the installation is a ceiling mount, the ceiling structure must be able to support
the weight of the hood. The structural integrity of the ceiling, and the ceiling
modifications that are required must be determined by a structural engineer. This is
the responsibility of the installation contractor.

7. The ceiling mount skirt does not have legs. The base has rear flanges that will not
allow it to sit level. Use wood to assist in keeping the flanges/skirts raised, and keep the
assembly level for the remainder of the installation.
8. The ceiling mount hood is now ready to be placed on the top of the skirt. Place the
skirt at the final location desired, and in accordance with all clearance requirements. Apply a
bead of silicon along the top of the panels.
CAUTION
9. Final installation is to be determined by contractor and structural engineer. The
ceiling structure and mounting must be structurally capable to support the hoods weight and
mounting system.
Use ½” diameter threaded rods to hang ceiling mounted hoods. The holes in the
ceiling and structure shall be 9/16” diameter. The following figure is the hole locations to
hang a WVU-48 hood.

1.3 CEILING MOUNT DETAIL
Plan out the mounting of the ceiling mount hood. All roof structure requirements and
modifications must be able to hold the ceiling hood weight and the mounting structure. This
is the responsibility of the contractor and structural engineer to insure these requirements.
The mounting is made with 1/2” threaded rods. Drill 9/16” diameter holes in the ceiling and
supporting structure to line up with the threaded holes in the top of the hood. The following
diagrams are the hole patterns to insure wall clearances and to place the hood in the correct
position.

are not an authorized
control circuit. All
appliances must be
installed per the under hood
limitations.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Refer to the nameplate on the ventilator. Verify ELECTRICAL
SERVICE POWER. Voltage and phase must match the nameplate
The ground lug of this ventilator must be connected to a suitable
building ground.
Remove the left side panel to access the cooking appliance contactor
and building alarm relay. Remove the appropriate knockout, then wire
the cooking appliance control circuit to the terminal block per Fig below.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to provide
NOTE: The hood requires a single phase (1ph), 208 or 240 volt, 20
amp supply at 60 Hz. When connecting line voltage to the unit’s
terminal block, use a minimum of #12 gage copper wire only, suitable
for 167°F (76°C) ambient temperature.
Appliance Connections
All under hood appliances are required to be interlocked with the hood’s
equipment cut-off circuit, through a customer supplied contactor. Shunt trip breakers are not authorized. This contactor must be a UL listed,
Installation and connections shall be in accordance with the National Electric
