Double Island Canopy Style Hoods

NOTE
Before hanging the hoods, please verify the hood
marks to ensure the correct hood is hung on the
correct side.
A double island hood is created by installing two
wall style hoods back to back. Use the installation
procedure described for single island canopy hoods;
install and level both hoods. After leveling, secure the
hoods together by tack-welding and/or bolting the rear
mounting brackets together. Double island hoods may
also be provided with a U-Channel to seal the seam
between the two hoods.
Double island hoods may be provided with a common
exhaust duct - if provided, the hoods' exhaust collars
will align to form a single exhaust collar to affix the duct
to. When a common exhaust duct is not provided, the
collars will be separate and not form one collar.
Installing U-Channel Strip
1. After the hood is hung in position and leveled, apply
caulk to the inside edge of the double island clip.
2. Position and install the clip by tapping into position
along clip (friction fit).
3. Caulk edges to seal out grease and allow for ease
of cleaning. Caulk with NSF Approved silicone
caulk (GE SCS1009 or its equivalent). The caulk is
not provided.

Proximity (Backshelf) Hoods

A proximity style hood is designed to be mounted close
to the cooking appliance
and typically incorporates
underhang instead of
overhang as utilized with
canopy style hoods.
The proximity design, in
addition to the hanger
brackets, may include a
back mounting flange.
Therefore, hanging the
hood differs slightly from
that of a wall or single
island canopy hood.
1. Locate the studs in the wall.
2. Drill 1/2 inch (13 mm) diameter holes in the hood
mounting flange. Be sure to align to wall studs.
3. Lift hood into a level position and lag bolt hood to
wall (fasteners by others).
4. Bolt 1/2 inch threaded rod into the remaining hanging
brackets.
5. Fasten threaded rod to the ceiling supports, then
level the hood.
If the proximity hood was provided with a back supply
plenum, the hood mounting flange may be fastened to
the back supply using sheet metal screws (by others).
Pilot holes are recommended.
