BLOWER ASSEMBLIES

Pro Island Hoods require an internal, in-line, or remote
blower assembly, avail able through an authorized Wolf

specic installation instructions provided with each blower
assembly.

Ducting

WARNING

To reduce the risk of re, use only metal ducting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a qualied HVAC professional

for specic installation and ducting applications.

Pro Island Hoods accommodate a 10"
only rigid metal ducting.

A straight, short duct run allows the hood to perform most
efciently. If the duct run exceeds 50'
blower may be required to maintain proper air ow.

Internal and in-line blowers require a roof or wall cap.
Connect ducting to the cap or to the remote blower and
work back towards the hood. Use sheet metal screws and
high-temperature duct tape to seal joints between ducting
sections.

Pro Island Hoods include a backdraft damper. Local codes
may require the use of an additional backdraft and/or make­up air damper. Contact your local HVAC professional for
specic requirements.
