mechanical and electrical skills .

• 

Completion time – 

1–3 hours

•  Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. 

•  Product failure due to improper installation is not covered 

under the Warranty .

 IMPORTANT:

 If a rectangular-to-round 

transition adaptor is used, the bottom 

corners of the damper will have to 

be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in 

order to allow free movement of the 

damper . Equivalent lengths of duct 

pieces are based on actual tests and 

reflect requirements for good venting 

performance with any hood .

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS

WARNING –

Before beginning the 

installation, switch power off at service panel and lock the 

service disconnecting means to prevent power from being 

switched on accidentally . When the service disconnecting 

means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent 

warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel .

WARNING

 –

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, 

USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not have 

existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork, skip to 

the “Damage” section and proceed.

The venting system must exhaust to the outside .
This hood can be vented vertically through upper cabinets 

or horizontally through an outside wall . Ductwork is not 

included .

Exhaust connection: 

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with 

standard 3

1

⁄

4

” x 10” rectangular ducting .

If a 7” round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round 

transition adaptor must be used* . 

Do not use less than a 

7” diameter duct.

Maximum duct length: 

For satisfactory air m ovement, the total duct length of a 

3

1

⁄

4

” x 10” rectangular 

should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. 

NOTE:

 It’s important that ducting be installed using the 

most direct route and with as few elbows as possible . 

This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent 

blockages . 

Also, make sure dampers swing freely and 

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 the total duct length, add 

the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus 

the length of all straight duct sections . The charts on the 

following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent 

ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent 

length of some typical ducts .

WARNING – 

TO REDUCE THE RISK 

OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, 

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A.

  Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by 

qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and 

standards, including fire-rated construction .

B.

  Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting 

of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment 

to prevent back drafting . Follow the heating equipment 

manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as 

those published by the National Fire Protection Association 

(NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air 

Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities . 

When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system 

in accordance with local building code requirements . 

C.

  When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage 

electrical wiring and other hidden utilities .

D.

  Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors .

WARNING – 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND 

TO PROPERLY EXHAUST AIR, BE SURE TO DUCT AIR OUTSIDE—

DO NOT VENT EXHAUST AIR INTO SPACES WITHIN WALLS OR 

CEILINGS OR INTO ATTICS, CRAWL SPACES OR GARAGES.
