opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition
needed in advance.
• When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air
system in accordance with local building code requirements.

Wall Framing for Adequate Support
• This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support must
be provided. The hood must be secured to vertical studs in
the wall. See page 14.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood with duct cover
be on site before final framing and wall finishing. This will
also help to accurately locate the ductwork and electrical
service.
