*Actual length of straight duct plus duct
fitting equivalent. Equivalent length of duct
pieces are based on actual tests conducted
by GE Evaluation Engineering and reflect
requirements for good venting performance
with any ventilation hood.

DUCT FITTINGS:
This Hood Must Use an
8" Round Duct. It Can
Transition to 3-1/4" x 10"
or 3-1/4" x 12" Duct.
Use this chart to compute
maximum permissible
lengths for duct runs to
outdoors.
NOTE:
Do not exceed
maximum permissible
equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
100 feet for range hoods.
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is
used, all the equivalent feet
values in the table should be
doubled. The flexible metal
duct should be straight and
smooth and extended as
much as possible.
DO NOT use flexible plastic
ducting.
NOTE:
Any home ventilation
system, such as a ventilation
hood, may interrupt the
proper flow of combustion
air and exhaust required
by fireplaces, gas furnaces,
gas water heaters and
other naturally vented
systems. To minimize the
chance of interruption
of such naturally vented
systems, follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s
g u i d e l i n e s a n d s a f e t y
standards such as those
published by NFPA.
