Install the ductwork

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal

ductwork.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the

hood and the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to

perform most efficiently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce

the performance of the hood. Use as few of them

as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best

performance with longer duct runs.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal

ductwork to cap and work back towards hood

location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between

ductwork sections.

5. Never make the size or area of the ductwork smaller

than the size that originates at the hood.

6. Bigger ductwork is better.

7. Keep duct lenght less than 50 linear feet.

8. Minimize use of elbows and transitions (4 or less).

9. Always separate 90 degree elbows with at least 2

feet of straight ductwork.

10. Place transitions at least 1 foot from the hood

outlet.
