Design Information Professional Vent Hoods Advance Planning Ductwork planning • 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 feet equivalent length for any duct configurations. • Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum permissable length for duct runs to the outdoors. See page 6. • Use metal ductwork.
Installation Preparation Professional Vent Hoods Duct fittings Use this chart to compute maximum permissable lengths for duct runs to outdoors. Note: Do not exceed maximum permissable 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.
