TOWARD
APPROPRIATE DIRECTIONS FOR TYPE OF DUCT
SYSTEM YOU ARE INSTALLING.
FIG. 6
WALL CAPS (FIG. 6)
Use a saber saw to cut a hole slightly larger than duct so
duct will line up easily with hood. Install casing strips on
outside walls finished in siding. Assemble the ductwork and
tape all joints. Run ductwork back to hood. Fasten wall cap
to last section of duct and nail or screw cap to wall. Seal all
around flange on wall cap with caulking compound. Make
sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct
will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4" when the
hood is installed.
FIG. 7A
FIG. 7C
ROOF CAPS (FIGS. 7A - 7D)
Cut hole in roof slightly larger than duct so duct will line up
easily with hood. Trim shingles around hole so that they will
fit snugly around hood of cap when cap is installed. Assemble
the ductwork and tape all joints. Run the ductwork down to
hood. Trim duct parallel to roof pitch, leaving 3/4" of duct
projecting above roof (FIG. 7A). Seal all around duct with
roof cement. (FIG 7B) Install roof cap, inserting back edge
of cap under shingles. (FIG 7C) Seal around roof cap with
roof cement and seal all nail heads and shingles which were
cut or lifted. (FIG. 7D)
Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the
duct will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4" when
the hood is put into place.
