Cyclone Canopy Installation - English
DAMAGE INSPECTION
• Please fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
• If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or replacement.
• If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
• If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair of replacement must be made by arrangement between
customer and installer.
• Once installed, all damages will be assumed the responsibility of the installer.
DUCTING
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside – do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
WARNING
• Best to use rigid type metal ducts. Flexible ducts can
restrict airflow by more than 50%.
• Reduce the number of transitions and turns as much as
possible. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead
of a pancake reducer. If turns and transitions are required,
install them as far away from the opening as possible and
as far apart between two as possible.
CAUTION
• 6” round ductwork must be used to maintain maximum
air flow efficiency with motors of 450 CFM or greater. If
the use of any size ducting is less than 6”, the warranty is
automatically voided.
• The venting duct must go horizontally or vertically up to the
outside wall or the roof. If it is turned downward anywhere
in the venting system, the warranty is automatically voided.
WARNING
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints
with certified silver tape or duct.
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or
stud must be cut then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Before making cutouts make sure there is proper clearance within
the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
Examples of different types of ventilation for island
and wall mounted canopies:
Additional parts not provided.
Roof Pitch with Cap
and Flashing
Side wall cap with
gravity damper
Soffit or crawl space
Side wall cap with
gravity damper
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
We recommend to install the duct elbow at least 18” from the top
of the damper.
