Hood Hanging Height; Continuous Capture Plenum; Double Island Style Hood; U-Channel Strips - Accurex XB Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Hood Hanging Height

The hood hanging height is critical, hanging the hood at the incorrect height may significantly reduce
the ability for the hood to function properly and may be in violation of codes. The hood hanging height
(typically, 78 in. (198.1 cm) above the finished floor) is given on the UL label located on the inside of
the hood on the end panel. The hood must be hung level to operate properly. The grease trough is
pitched to drain into the grease container.
Double Island Style Hoods
Before hanging the hoods, please verify the hood marks to make sure 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 on page 5 for single island hoods; install and level both hoods. After leveling,
secure the hoods together by tack-welding and/or bolting the rear mounting brackets. Caulk this joint
with NSF Approved silicone caulk (GE SCS1009 or its equivalent). The caulk is not provided.
Continuous Capture Plenum Hoods
Remove the support angles on the open end panels. (see
Fig. 3) Use the installation procedure described on page
4 for single island hoods; install and level both hoods.
After leveling, secure the hoods together by tack-welding
and/or bolting the top angles. Fasten the hoods together
using u-clips and bolts, (see Fig. 4). Caulk this joint
with NSF Approved silicone caulk (GE SCS1009 or its
equivalent). The caulk is not provided.
