Choose an appropriate location to install the exterior hoods:
• There must be a inimum distance of 6’ between the hoods to avoid cross-contamination
• There must be a minimum distance of 18” from the ground
Refer to figure below for connecting insulated ducts to the exterior hoods. An “Anti-gust intake hood” should be installed in regions
where a lot of snow is expected to fall.
WARNING
Make sure the intake hood is at least 6 feet away from any of the following:
• Dryer exhaust, high efficiency furnace vent, central vacuum vent
• Gas meter exhaust, gas barbecue-grill
• Any exhaust from a combustion source
• Garbage bin and any other source of contamination
