PREPARE DUCTWORK
FIND BLOWER MOUNTING LOCATION
After finding your inline blower’s mounting location, plan where your
duct work path will run. This includes where it will leave your range
hood, run through the inline blower, and exit your home. Install the
proper sized duct work along your planned route and the exterior roof
or wall cap, depending on where you will be venting your hood to the
exterior. Duct work should already be run through the ceiling or back
wall behind your range hood and ready to hook up to the range hood
and inline blower before beginning installation on them. See venting
requirements above.
Find an area along the desired path of your duct work where you have
enough room to mount the inline blower and is sturdy enough to
support the weight of your blower. This should be either a solid wall, a
stud, part of your home’s structure, or a framed area within your attic
that is structurally sound enough to mount the blower to. Both points
on the mounting bracket should be mounted to a stud, rafter, or joist.
