Installation Details
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Note: These instructions apply to standard hoods only.
Custom hoods may require additional specification consideration.
2) When installing a wall mount range hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no more
than 30" above the cooking surface for optimum performance.
3) Select the appropriate installation method.
Method 1 is suitable for applications where the top of the hood (blower outlet(s) location) is accessible after the hood
is mounted on the wall.
Method 2 is suitable for applications where the top of the hood (blower outlet(s) location) is not accessible after the
hood is mounted on the wall.
4) IF THE HOOD IS TO BE “BACK VENTED”, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 5.
Consult the connection diagrams (on next page) for further details on exhaust outlet placement.
Method 1: Install the duct(s) from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust outlet(s) on the top
of the hood allowing room for the transition (if applicable). If a transition is used, install duct down to the
location of the transition outlet plus 1". This will allow the transition to engage 1" inside of duct.
Method 2: Install the duct(s) from the outside of the home to the ceiling over the exhaust outlet(s) on the hood. The
end of the duct(s) should extend 1" below the ceiling.
Use duct tape to seal all joints. A complete listing of available Vent-A-Hood ducting materials is provided on the back
page of this instruction sheet.
Transition heights are as follows:
Single Blower (B100):
6" round duct will connect directly to the top of the hood.
Dual Blower (B200):
8" round duct will connect directly to the top of the hood.
Single and Dual Blower (B100 & B200): 6" round duct will connect directly to the top of the hood; 8” round will
connect directly to the top of the hood. Optional 10" round combination
transition (VP562, sold separately) is 17 1/2" tall.
Two Dual Blowers (Two B200s):
Two 8” round ducts connect directly to the top of the hood. Optional 12”
round combination transition (VP563, sold separately) is 16 1/2” tall.
