Decorative duct covers are available in 6" and 12" heights. Duct covers may be

stacked, in various combinations, to conceal the ductwork running from the

top of the hood to the ceiling.

and order the correct size duct cover. The duct covers should be ordered at

the same time as the vent hood and be on site before

installation. Order the duct cover corresponding to your model.

Advanced Planning

Ductwork Planning
• These vent hoods are equipped for 10" round ductwork. In most instances

they may be transitioned to 8" round.

• This hood may be vented vertically through upper cabinets, soffit or ceiling.

A duct transition piece is supplied for vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied

elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.

• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory

performance, duct run should not exceed 150 ft. equivalent length for

any duct configurations.

• Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum permissible length

for duct runs to the outdoors.

• Use metal ductwork only.
• Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Order

the wall or roof cap and any transition needed in advance.

Wall framing for Adequate Support
• These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided.

Hoods must be secured to vertical studs in the wall.

• It is strongly recommended that the vent hood with duct cover be on site

before final framing and wall finishing. This will also help to accurately

locate the ductwork and electrical service.

Decorative Duct Covers:
Decorative duct covers, 6" and 12" high, are available to fit all models. The

duct cover conceals the ductwork running from the top of the hood to the

ceiling or soffit. Stack one or more duct covers over the top of the hood

to reach your ceiling height.
