DUCT COVER REQUIREMENTS
These decorative duct covers are designed to conceal
the ductwork running from the top of the hood to the

using the outer piece alone, or using both pieces it will
expand from 24" to 34" heights. Read this page to be
sure the duct cover accessory fits your installation
situation.
Duct Cover Accessory:
• Use the decorative duct
cover to conceal ductwork
running from the top of
the hood to the ceiling.
• The duct cover accessory
consists of 2 pieces. The
outside piece is 12″high,
the inside piece is 22″.
Nested together they are
24″min., expanding to
a total maximum height
of 34″.
• The outside piece can be
used alone to fill a 12″
height.
• For heights over 12″, the
ceiling bracket must be
installed to secure the cover at the top.
To avoid unsightly gaps, plan the hood installation height
for duct cover use.
• The cover will fit a 12″min. height from the top of the
hood to the ceiling,
– or 24″min. and expanding up to 34″from the top of
the hood to the ceiling.

Installation Instructions
STEP 1 INSTALL CEILING BRACKET
The ceiling bracket must be installed when the duct
cover is used to span 24″or more height above the
hood. The bracket will hold the decorative duct cover
in place at the top.
Note: The ceiling bracket is not required when using
only the 12″section of the duct cover.
• Install the 2 small screws into the sides of the duct
bracket. Remove the screws. Pre-tapping the holes will
insure ease of final installation.
• Match center notch on the bracket to the centerline
on the wall and flush against the ceiling.
• Mark the 2 screw hole locations.
• Drill 1/8″pilot holes in marked bracket location.
• If pilot holes do not enter studs, enlarge the holes to
3/8″and install wall fastener anchors.
• Secure the bracket to the rear wall with wood screws
and washers. Use wall anchors if needed.
Note: Bracket has 2 sets of holes. Use larger holes for wall
fasteners or wood screws with washers. Use smaller holes for
wood screws with washers.
