Advance Planning ADVANCE PLANNING Ductwork Planning • These vent hoods are equipped for 10” 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 150 ft. equivalent length for any duct configurations. • Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.
Advance Planning INSTALLATION HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS • These vent hoods must be installed 30” min. and 36” max. above the cooking surface – regardless of the ceiling height. Therefore, installation height of the hood depends on the exact ceiling height of the kitchen. • Accessories are available for ceiling heights 8’6” and up to 10’4”. Example: Hood installation height with 8 ft. ceilings. 8 ft. Ceiling 8 ft.
Advance Planning DUCT FITTINGS Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors. For best results, use 10” diameter duct. Note: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths! Maximum recommended duct length IRU WKHVH KRRGV IHHW 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.
