Best Practices Venting Installation Instructions for Range Hoods and Wood Hood Liners (All Models) —Addendum to Installation Instructions— IMPORTANT: Problems caused by improper installations are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. IMPORTANT: Undersized and improperly installed duct pipe and/or other ventilation components will cause excessive static pressure (air resistance), that may result in rattling, vibration and air buffeting noises, as well as inadequate ventilation. 1.

b. No portion of the ducting should be run so that the exhaust air flows downward. Since exhaust heat rises, forcing the air to flow downward will cause increased static pressure. As previously mentioned, improperly installed duct pipe will cause excessive static pressure (air resistance), that may result in rattling, vibration and air buffeting noises, as well as inadequate ventilation. c.
PAGE 10
In-line dampers must be installed so that the exhaust air flow will open the butterfly blades. For horizontal duct runs, the in-line damper must be installed so that the hinge between the two butterfly blades is vertical—the hinge pin must point up and down. Otherwise, because of gravity, the damper’s blades will not close and the damper will not prevent backdrafts. For vertical duct runs, the in-line damper’s hinge will be horizontal (sideways), which is correct for vertical duct runs.
