DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not

have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,

skip to the "Damage" section m_d proceed.

Tile venting system must exhaust to tile outside.

This hood can be vented vertically through upper

cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall.

Ductwork is not inclmled.

Exhaust connection:

Tile hood exhaust has been designed t{>mate with

standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter

rom]d ducting.

If a 6" round duct is required, a rectai]gulai_to-roui]d

transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less thma

a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisii_{'tory air movement, tile total duct length

of a 3¼" x 10" rectangulm; 6" or 7" diamemr rom]d

duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.

NOTE: It's impommt that ducfing be installed using

tile u]ost direct route and with as ti_w elbows as possible.

This ensm'es clear venting {>fexhaust and helps prevent

blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely mad

nothing is blocking the ducts.

Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,

present additional resistance to airflow and are

equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their

actual physical size. When calculating tile total duct

length, add tile equiwdent lengths of all mmsitions and

adaptm_ plus tile length of all straight duct sections. Tile

charts on tile tollowiug pages show you how to calculate

total equi\zdent ductw{>rk length using tile approximate

feet of equiwdent length of sou]e typical ducts.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangula>to-

rom]d transition adaptor is used, tile

bottom corne_ of tile damper will

have to be cut to fit, using tile tin

snips, in order to allow flee

u/oveu/eut of tile dai/iper.

Equiwdent lengths of duct pieces

are based on actual tests and reflect

requirements for good venting

perti>rmance with any hood.

Installation Instructions

Follow the guidelines for proper duct sizing in the ducth_g charts.
