1.2 ASSEMBLING THE CEILING MOUNTED HOOD FOR INSTALLATION TO THE CEILING.
The skirt for the hood will be assembled first and then attached to the hood. Then, the
entire assembly will be mounted to the ceiling.
When 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.
Table: Hood weights.
Model(S)
WVU-48 and GK-48
There are floor mounted bases available and these can be ordered as a separate kit.
The installation will require lifting equipment to raise the hood to the installed height,
regardless of base or ceiling mount.
A ceiling mounted hood will have the skirt assembled in place prior to raising the hood for
installation on the skirt. The entire assembly will be mounted to the ceiling.
1. Uncrate the hood and all components.
2. Assemble the base in the location that the hood will be located.
3. Locate the required hardware to assemble the skirt. The hardware required includes
1/4-20 UNC x .75 long Hex Head Cap Screws (bolt), 1/4 Flat Washers, and 1/4-20 UNC Hex
Nuts.
