ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 7” to 8”.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far
away from hood duct output and as far apart,
between the two as possible.
Minimum mounting height between range top to
hood bottom should be no less than 24”.
Maximum mounting height should be no higher
than 32”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
