Hoods Are Equipped For 254mm Round Duct.
*Hoods are supplied with a 254mm round transition.
*Actual length of straight duct plus duct fitting must equivalent. Equivalent lengths of
duct pieces are based on actual tests conducted by Evaluation Engineering and reflect
requirements for good venting performance with any ventilation hood.
Installation Instructions
Use a level to draw a straight horizontal pencil line indicating the bottom of the
hood.
From the line indicating the bottom of the hood, measure 374.5mm up and draw
another line for the location of the wood support measure 101mm down .See
