INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect the crating carefully. If there are signs of damage, call the freight carrier before uncrating the units.
Carefully uncrate the units. Check all local codes prior to installation, special requirements may be necessary
depending on local building material construction.
** Important note ** Do not leave unit (s) exposed to extreme temperatures for an extended period of
time, this may cause the protective PVC coating around the unit (s) to become very difficult to remove
2. Position the hood near the actual installation site. In case of multiple hoods, check the engineered set of
drawings for locations. Pay close attention to collar sizes and fire protection layouts, matching the hood systems
to the correct location shown on the drawings provided.
**Check item numbers on crates / hoods vs. drawing item numbers.
3. Once the hood is carefully removed from the shipping crate and set in position, the unit is now ready for installa-
tion. If Halton Company has supplied a backsplash assembly, then the splash assembly should be installed first,
for installation procedures
(See pg. 5).
4. Hang the hood using ½” threaded rods (hanging rods by others) by attaching the rods to the hood through the
hanger brackets that are fastened to the top of the hood. Use of turnbuckles with the threaded rod sections will
make final adjustment easier. Standard hanging height for canopy hoods ranges from 78” minimum to 84” max-
imum from the finished floor to the lower edge of the front of the hood (per local codes having jurisdiction).
**Noted in installation instructions - (See pg. 6).

series hoods shown on pages 16-24.
5. If Closure Panels are supplied by Halton (see pg. 9) for details on the installation.
6. For multiple hoods end to end, or back to back (see pg. 8) for Installation of Splice Strips and U-Channels.
7. For hoods equipped with a supply fire damper, it is very important to make sure that the fire damper is set in an
open position before connecting the supply duct.
Electrical circuits should be connected according to standard switch panel wiring diagram, shown on (pg. 10).
Occasionally desired options may require modifications to the standard wiring (for example remote switch panel).
The modified wiring diagram will be included with the job specific submittal drawings and should be referenced for
correct field wiring of hood and accessories.
Additional details about the Halton hood wiring are found with the wiring diagram.
8. Grease filters and grease cups must be installed in place before start-up.
9. Halton hood come standard with high output, long lasting LED light fixtures. Optionally incandescent or recessed
fluorescent fixtures may be ordered. Please note only install 100 watt maximum light bulbs in incandescent light
fixtures. Fluorescent bulbs should be type T8, 36” or 48” long in fluorescent fixtures.
**Note: Halton does not
provide bulbs for incandescent or fluorescent lights.
10. Protect the hood from damage under normal job site conditions, until all work is complete and system is ready
to be put into operation.
11. The KCH Capture Jet
®
Type I Condensate hood is a highly efficient kitchen ventilation hood that removes contami-
nated air and excess heat emitted by cooking equipment and channels excess condensation from the interior of
the hood to a perimeter gutter system. This hood is designed to help eliminate water dripping from the edges and
roof of a standard canopy hood when used with heavy steam producing equipment. Perimeter gutters installed
on all four sides of the hood capture water from the sides of the hood and redirect it to a channel with a 3/4” NPT
drain connection. This drain must be field connected to route the collected condensate for disposal. All local and
national plumbing codes must be complied with.
