Step 1 – Open crates and separate parts
Open the shipping crates and separate the parts according to the size of the unit, refer to Figure 1.
Step 2 – Place BASE ENDS and BASE SIDES
Place the two base ends and the two base sides in their approximate relationship to each other, see Figure 2. Fasten
together using three 1/4-20 fasteners per corner for 5 inch high base and four 1/4-20 fasteners per corner for 12 inch
high base.
NOTE: Fasteners should be hand tightened only until Step 4.
On some units where the difference between the hood width and throat width is greater than 32 inches, a reinforcing
plate is required in the corners of the base, refer to Figure 2, Detail A.

Step 3 – Attach HOOD BASE ENDS to HOOD BASE SIDES
Attach the hood support angle to the base assembly (hand tight), using four 1/4-20 fasteners per angle, see Figure 3,
Detail B.
On some units, two diagonal braces come pre-attached to the hood support angle. Fasten the loose end of the
diagonal braces to the base assembly, using one 3/8-16 fastener per diagonal brace. See Figure 3, Detail C.

Step 6 –Attach END ANGLE to the ends of SIDE CHANNELS
Attach the end angle (hand tight) to the ends of the side filter channel assemblies and side channels using four
5/16 x 1 weldstud fasteners per end angle, see Figure 5. In addition, units with throat widths greater than 36 inches
will require filter end channel assemblies, see Figure 5, Detail D. Fasten filter end channel assembly (hand tight) to
the end closure angle and end angle, using two 5/16 x 1 weldstud fasteners per assembly.

Step 9 – Assemble HOOD PANELS to HOOD RAIL ASSEMBLY
Assemble hood panels to hood rail assembly. The hood end assembly with the “male rib” is to be installed first, see
Figure 7, Detail E. Place the remaining hood panels in place, interlocking panels as you go, see Detail E. Secure each
hood panel to the hood rail assembly as it is put in place using four 12 x 3/8 inch sheet metal screws with sealing
washers per hood panel. The hood end assembly with the “female rib” is to be installed last.
NOTE: Hoods over 9 feet wide are supplied with special hood clips. See Detail F, hood panels have predrilled holes
for hood clip installation. Install clips as hood panels are being put in place, using one 12 x 5/8 inch sheet metal
screw with sealing washer per hood clip. To install clips in the last panel, remove the end filters to provide access to
the underside of the hood. The filters can be easily replaced after the hood is completely assembled.

NOTE: Depending on the size of the hood it may be easier to assemble unit on the ground and lift to the roof
assembled. This is due to the self tapping screws that need to be fastened down the center of the hood.
IMPORTANT: Do not climb on top of hood to fasten screws in the center of the hood.

Step 4 – Tighten fasteners and caulk all inside corners
Tighten all base, side and base end fasteners. Caulk all inside corners where the base sections come together. At
this point, the base may be lifted onto the roof curb before proceeding with further assembly.
Step 5 – Attach FILTER CHANNELS to HOOD SUPPORT ANGLE
Attach the filter side channel (hand tight) to the hood support angle and the filter side channel assembly (hand tight)
to the base side, using two 5/16 x 1 inch weldstud fasteners per channel, see Figure 4. Sandwich the end closure
angle between the base end and the side filter channel assembly, see Figure 4.

Step 11 – Install HOOD PANELS to HOOD RAIL ASSEMBLY
Place the next hood panel by interlocking each panel as shown in Figure 9, Detail E. Secure each hood panel to
the hood rail assembly as it is put in place, using four #12-14 x 1 inch self-tapping screws (hardware kit # 415450)
to attach the hood panel to the hat channel. Use four #12-11 x 5/8 sheet metal screws (hardware kit # 417467) to

sealing washers per hood panel. Place the remaining hood panels in place with the hood end assembly with the
female rib is to be installed last as shown in step 10, page 8.
IMPORTANT: Do not drive sheet metal screws all the way through both sides of the ribs as this could allow water to
leak through the hood. Screws are to fasten only the first 2 layers of the rib joint.
