INSTALLING THE
DUCTWORK
NOTE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW THE PLANS
MADE ON PAGE 2. START AT THE EXTERIOR AND RUN
THE DUCT BACK TO THE RANGE HOOD.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF YOUR RANGE HOOD,
USE THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE DUCT RUN AND A MINI-
MUM NUMBER OF ELBOWS.
NEVER VENT A RANGE HOOD INTO AN ATTIC SPACE
BECAUSE A BUILDUP OF GREASE WILL BECOME A FIRE
HAZARD.
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK (DO NOT USE PLASTIC
DUCT). ASSEMBLE SECURELY SO THAT IN CASE OF A
GREASE FIRE ON THE RANGE, THE FIRE WILL BE CON-
TAINED INSIDE METAL DUCT WORK.
IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO TAPE ALL DUCT CONNEC-
TIONS, MAKING THEM BOTH SECURE AND AIR TIGHT.
15.Follow appropriate directions below for type of duct work
you are installing:
WALL CAPS (FIG. 9)
Use a saber saw to cut a hole slightly larger than duct so
duct will line up easily with hood. Install casing strips on
outside walls finished in siding. Assemble the duct work and
tape all joints. Run duct work back to hood. Fasten wall cap
to last section of duct and nail or screw cap to wall. Seal all
around flange on wall cap with caulking compound. Make
sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct
will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4" when the
hood is installed.
ROOF CAPS
Cut hole in roof slightly larger than duct so duct will line up
easily with hood. Trim shingles around hole so that they will
fit snugly around hood of cap when cap is installed. Assemble
the duct work and tape all joints. Run the duct work down to
hood. Trim duct parallel to roof pitch, leaving 3/4" of duct
projecting above roof. Seal all around duct with roof cement.
Install roof cap, inserting back edge of cap under shingles.
Seal around cap with roof cement and seal all nail heads
and shingles which were cut or lifted.
Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the
duct will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4" when
the hood is put into place.
