PART 1 Planning the Installation

Trade-Wind

Designer Series Liners are designed for installation inside custom hood canopies. Proper installation

of the liner is directly related to the material from which the custom canopy is constructed. A qualified person must

complete the installation of this unit. Because of the large size and weight of this hood / liner, two installers are

recommended. Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown

provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise specified. Important: You must provide structural framing and tight

backing in the areas in which you are securing the liner inside your custom canopy. Failure to do so could distort

and damage the liner and void the warranty.

For best and quietest performance with In-Line Blower installations, the blower should be installed in the attic, near

or slightly beyond the mid-point of the duct system. In installations requiring the blower be in a chase or wood-type

hood over the range (e.g., no attic above the kitchen), the duct silencer will not be as effective in absorbing motor

noise. In addition, there will likely be motor sound transmitted through the walls of the chase, bypassing the duct

silencer.

Given the high performance of Trade-Wind

In-Line Blowers, it is highly recommended that the blower NOT

be attached directly to the liner or in a chase immediately above the liner unless a Trade-Wind

brand duct

silencer is installed between the blower and liner and neoprene lined FC Clamps are used. FC Clamps are

available from Trade-Wind

through your Trade-Wind

supplier. Ask for model numbers FC6 (6‖), FC8 (8‖) or

FC10 (10‖), 2 per box.

In-Line & Remote Ventilators, Duct Silencers, Dampers and Ducting

Trade-Wind

VSL Liners (non-internal motor models) are also designed for use with ―in-line‖ and ―remote-mount‖

ventilators. When planning for installations using these products, please refer to the Installation Instructions

provided with the ventilator. Trade-Wind

Duct Silencers are available from your local Trade-Wind

dealer. When

planning for installation using a duct silencer, please refer to the Installation Instructions provided with the duct

silencer.

Given that most installations are different, a back-draft damper is not provided with this unit. Trade-Wind

back

draft dampers are also available from your local Trade-Wind

dealer. Always install ventilation products with an

approved wall or roof cap. Duct performance is improved by using round, smooth metal duct work instead of

rectangular. If multiple elbows must be used, ensure that there is a minimum of 24‖ of straight duct between any

two elbows. Avoid ―S‖ or back to back configurations caused by adjacent elbows. Do not rely on duct tape alone to

seal duct joints. Use sheet metal screws as required to support the duct.

WARNING! For maximum ventilation performance, the bottom of the hood or liner should be 30 - 36

inches (76.2 - 91.4 cm) above the cooking surface (minimum is 24”). This would typically result in the

bottom of the hood being 66 - 72 inches (167.6 - 182.9 cm) above the floor. These dimensions provide for

safe and efficient operation of the hood. Always observe local building codes.
