General information

NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 11.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY) The following chart contains an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT LENGTH x NUMBER USED = EQUIVALENT

LENGTH

Roof Cap 24 ft. x (1) = 24 ft.

12 Ft. Straight Duct (6 Round) 12 ft. x (1) = 12 ft.

Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adaptor* 5 ft. x (1) = 5 ft.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.

Total Length = 41 ft.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY) The following chart contains an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT LENGTH x NUMBER USED = EQUIVALENT

LENGTH

Wall Cap 40 ft. x (1) = 40 ft.

3 Ft. Straight Duct (3 x 10 Rectangular) 3 ft. x (1) = 3 ft.

90 Elbow 10 ft. x (2) = 20 ft.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.

Total Length = 63 ft.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the space between studs, or the wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate the exhaust duct.

HOOD EXHAUST

MC17T8000CS_AA_DE68-04129D-01_EN.indd 4 2021-03-25 11:25:53

General information

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.

Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3 x 10 rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6 diameter duct.

Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 x 10 rectangular or 6 diameter round duct should not exceed 140 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 adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the equivalent length in feet of some typical ducts.

DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT LENGTH x NUMBER USED = EQUIVALENT

LENGTH

Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adaptor* 5 ft. x ( ) = ft.

Wall Cap 40 ft. x ( ) = ft.

90 Elbow 10 ft. x ( ) = ft.

45 Elbow 5 ft. x ( ) = ft.

90 Elbow 25 ft. x ( ) = ft.

45 Elbow 5 ft. x ( ) = ft.

Roof Cap 24 ft. x ( ) = ft.

Straight Duct 6 Round or 3 x 10 Rectangular 1 ft. x ( ) = ft.

Total Ductwork = ft.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect the requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.
