INSTALLATION 

The most effective installation is one in which the back is mounted against a wall while the front is 
supported by 3/8 inch threaded rod mounted to the ceiling.  Wire or cable may be substituted for 
the 3/8 inch threaded rod.  Please see Figure 1 for recommended installation technique.

Hood Efficiency 

 
The Canopy Hood can be extremely effective when installed correctly.  The effectiveness of the 
Canopy Hood is dependent directly upon the proximity of the work area to the hood face.  The 
face velocity and static pressure expressed in the Performance section is based on a theoretical 
hood face at 1 foot below the hood.  If the height of the working apparatus is below the theoretical 
1-foot face, then efficiencies will drop off.  Conversely, the hood will become more efficient as the 
height of the working apparatus enters inside the 1-foot face. 
 
Therefore, the distance between the work surface and the hood is extremely important.  Even when 
used as a multipurpose installation, it is important to be within or near the 1-foot face for 
maximum efficiency for all uses.  Refer to Figure 2.
