NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct

should not exceed 120 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.
Read the following carefully.
NOTE: It is important that venting 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.

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with

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

than a 6" diameter duct.

Installation Instructions
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of 3
should not exceed 120 equivalent feet.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent
to a section of straight duct which is longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The chart below shows you how to calculate total
equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
