2. DUCT INSTALLATION
T@e
“B”
Models:
See Figs. 4 and 9.
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 7“ round duct. (A round damper kit may be
ordered. Order GE model number JXDA22.)*
A. If a rectangular duct is desired, a round-to-rectangular
adapter must be used. Install a 4“ minimum length of
7“ round duct between the hood and adapter to obtain
proper operation of the outlet damper.
B. If 6“ round duct is desired, a 7“ to 6“ reducer is required.
Install a 4“ minimum of 7“ round duct between the hood
and reducer to obtain proper operation of the outlet damper.
Type “C” Models: See Figs. 5,6 and 10.
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a
standard 3!4” x 10” rectangular duct. If round duct is
desired either of the following methods must be used:
1. Install a 4“ minimum length of rectangular duct
between the hood and adapter to obtain proper
operation of the outlet damper, or
2. Cut off both comers of outlet damper at score lines.
Installation may then be made directly to
rectangular-
to-round adapter.
CAUTION: If rear or horizontal exhaust is to be
used, care should be taken to align exhaust with
space between 2 studs, or wall should be prepared at
the time it is constructed, by leaving enough space
between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH: For satisfactory
air movement (CFM) the total duct length should not
exceed 65 equivalent feet of
3fi” x 10” rectangular duct.
Equivalent feet are defined as total feet straight duct plus
equivalent feet of elbows, transitions, wall caps, etc.
Figure 7a shows the approximate equivalent feet of some
typical round (6” dia.) duct elements and rectangular
(3!4”
x
10”) duct elements.
