SUMMARY
SUMMARY
Installing the Wells Universal Ventless Hood systems to base mounted side walls, and
installing ceiling mounted side walls. Ceiling mounting instructions for Wells Universal
Ventless Hoods.
Plan the installation area for the hood. The following diagram includes the required clearances for
the hood installation, this is regardless of the type of hood mount, stand or ceiling mount, and equipment
underneath that is to be used under the hood.
The ceiling height must be 108 in. (274.3 cm) for installation of a unit with front, horizontal discharge, or
120 in. (304.8 cm) for installation of a unit with vertical discharge on 6 [six] inch legs. This requirement
is for both base and ceiling mount installations.
Wall clearances specified per NFPA 96, clause 4.2 must be maintained between the hood and combustible,
limited-combustible, and noncombustible materials. For reference, these clearances are 18 in. (457mm) to
combustible material, 3 in. (76 mm) to limited-combustible material, and 0 in. (0mm) to noncombustible
material.
Allow 24" of access on the service side (left side) of the hood. Check your local juristictional codes for any
additional restrictions or requirements.
Allow 6" of clearance on the right side of the hood for installation of the remote pull station.
If the installation is a ceiling mount, the ceiling structure must be able to support the weight of the hood.
The structural integrity of the ceiling, and the ceiling modifications that are required must be determined by
a structural engineer. This is the responsibility of the installation contractor.
