PART 2    Securing the Liner 

 
 

TILE BACKSPLASHES 
IMPORTANT:

  Liners installed immediately above the top edge of tile 

backsplashes thicker than 3 / 4‖ should be 

installed slightly forward

—not flush with the back wall.  The back filter bracket of the liner is 1inch deep and tile 

installations thicker than this will prevent the filters from being removable.  

 
 
 
MOUNTING HOLES 
NOTE:  DRILLING THROUGH STAINLESS STEEL REQUIRES A TITANIUM BIT.  BE CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL 
THROUGH FILTER BRACKETS, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR UL LABEL. 

Because the Trade-Wind

®

 Standard Series Liner was designed for various wood hood applications, no mounting 

holes have been pre-drilled.  This allows the liner to be attached in most any area of the canopy that has a wood 
frame support, e.g., the back, sides or top.  We recommend at least six equally spaced screws per liner

—three 

screws along the back (top or back side panel) and three screws on the front top, immediately next to the light bar 
wall or behind the removable light bar.  Where possible, the screw holes should be drilled into the top of the liner 
(instead of the sides or back).  This will help prevent distorting the liner walls in situations where the wood frame is 
not properly sized to the liner.  

Models with internal motors should also have at least one screw centered and 

securely in place on each end (side panel) of the liner because of the added weight.

   

 
Neatly measure and mark (left to right and top to bottom) and drill screw holes through the liner as required to 
match the wood backing.  It is easier to drill holes from the outside in, by setting the liner on its face (on cardboard) 
and drilling from the back side.  Secure the liner by driving screws (by others) tightly into the wood frame.  Use 
washers where necessary.  When removing the filters, be careful not to scratch the liner by placing the filters, 
screws, drill bits or drill on the 

liner’s face.  

 

 
 
CONNECTING TO THE VENT PIPE 

The VSL liner comes with a metal start collar welded in place.  Attach the Start Collar to the duct with at least three 
equally spaced screws.  Also apply duct tape, preferably the metal type.  Some installations, (where the outside of 
this portion of the duct is not accessible) will require the metal tape be applied on the 

inside

 of the duct.  For better 

access to these installations, the center bracket on the 42‖ liner model is removable.  Be careful not to scratch the 
liner when removing/reinstalling the bracket.
