Require 10-1/2” minimum opening for
ductwork and hood installation.
When necessary, the hood may be installed so that it is
supported by the soffit
• The soffit should be constructed with 2x4’s
• Determine the installation location on the wall.
• Continue the centerline forward on the bottom of the
cabinet or soffit
• The opening above the hood should allow for the 10"
round duct and clearance to slide the hood back against
the wall.
• The 2x4 studs must be located as shown in the chart, Dim. A. to accept mounting screws
