1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the
hoodand the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to
perform most efficiently.
3. Longductruns, elbows, andtransitionswill reduce
the performance of the hood. Use as few of them
aspossible.Largerductingmay berequiredforbest
performancewith longer ductruns.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal
ductwork to cap and work back towards hood
location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between
ductwork sections.
5. Nevermakethesizeor areaoftheductworksmaller
than the size that originates at the hood.
6. Bigger ductwork is better.
7. Keep duct lenght less than 50 linear feet.
8. Minimize use of elbows and transitions (4 or less).
9. Always separate 90 degree elbows with at least 2
feet of straight ductwork.
10. Place transitions at least 1 foot from the hood
