INSTALLATION PLANNING
CHECK THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
• If your installation has been roughed-in (including ductwork and
wiring), be certain there are no obstructions in the way of the
mounting, pipes, other wiring, etc.
• If the installation has not been roughed in, check what is needed
to create the framing and mounting hardware (allthreads, nuts,
etc.). Be sure the location will not interfere with wiring, other
utilities, or structural considerations.

WALL MOUNTED HOODS
1. Use 2x4s, Unistrut or Angle Iron, to construct the framing. The considerable
weight of the hood makes this necessary.
2. Mark the center location of the hood. Install two 2x4s (wide side down),
Unistrut or Angle Iron, across ceiling joists with outer edges aligned with
the existing ceiling joist.
3. Drill two 7/16"" diameter holes in the 2x4s, Unistrut or Angle Iron, the
same distance apart as the nuts in the top of the hood, plus the finished
drywall thickness. This ensures the hood is tightly fitted against the wall.
Install wooden spacers if necessary to ensure the top of the hood is flush
with the ceiling.
4. Insert all four of the allthread bolts into the top of the hood.
(Approximately 3")
5. While lifting the hood, guide and position the allthread through the
2x4s, Unistrut or Angle Iron, (At least 2 people are recommended
for this step)
7. Secure the hood with 3/8" nuts (do not tighten).
8. Adjust hood to proper location and tighten nuts. A second nut should
be used as a locknut
to prevent vibration and ensure stability.
9. Locate studs and drill 3/8" diameter holes through back panel. Secure
hood to wall with (4) 1/4" x 1-1/2" lag screws.
10. Connect the duct to hood using 3 sheet metal screws and seal all joints
with silicone or duct tape.
11. Make electrical connections. (An electrical contractor should make
all electrical connections. See wiring diagram.)

There are several different methods available to mount the hood: the
Unistrut, Angle Iron, Frame In, Wall Mount and Rough-In Plate Mount,
which can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. Please check
the model options for the suggested methods of your installation. Each
hood type and site requirements are presented as follows.
