the Hood".)
In more complex ducting situations,
a 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular
ducting range hood (UXT3030AA and UXT3036AA hoods) can be
converted to a round duct by means of a transition.
Begin planning ductwork by deciding where duct will run between
the range hood and the outside. For best performance,
use the
shortest possible duct run and a minimum
numaber of elbows.
There are several choices shown - FIGS. A - F below.
FIG. A
Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an
exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall.
If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care
must be taken to make sure that the damper in the damper/duct
connector on the hood damper in the wall cap do not interfere with
each other when the hood is operating.
This could result in either
inadequate
air delivery or backdrafts.
If this condition does exist,
remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap it
is easier to duct vertically and then use an elbow as shown FIG. B.
