Installation Preparation ADVANCE PLANNING • Use metal ductwork only. These hoods must use 6” round duct. It can transition to 3-1/4” x 12”, reducing the maximum equivalent duct length to 75 feet. • Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition needed in advance. • 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.
Installation Preparation 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 6” round duct 75 foot for 3-1/4” x 12” duct 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.
