Code Compliance
Ventilators must be installed to comply with all applicable codes.
1. Ventilator to be installed in accordance with NFPA-96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protec-
tion of Commercial Cooking Operations, the IMC, International Mechanical Code, and all other local ap-
plicable codes.
2. All plumbing and electrical must comply with the applicable codes.
3. Contractors must review applicable codes with code authorities before approving drawings for fabrica-
tion.
4. Special attention must be given to code regulations relative to clearances from surrounding combustible

Permits
IMPORTANT NOTE: Most building departments require the Ventilator (hood) permit separate from any other
general building permit. In addition if a Fire Extinguishing System is involved a separate permit from the
Ventilator permit is typically required. The Ventilator permit is typically obtained through the plan review de-
partment and the Fire Extinguishing System permit through the fire prevention bureau. The installing con-
tractor must check with local building departments for their requirements, and to obtain necessary permits.
Ventilator Listing
The Gaylord Model ELXC and ELXC-UVi Series Ventilators are listed to UL 710, UL 710C respectively, and Rec-
ognized by ETL. Any modification made to the Ventilator at the jobsite will void the listing.
Hanging the Ventilator
Use the following guidelines for hanging the Gaylord Ventilator:
1. The maximum section length of a Gaylord Ventilator is 16'-0". Ventilators longer than 16"-0" are made
up of multiple sections.
2. The weight of the Ventilator is shown on the Gaylord Submittal Drawings.
3. Each Ventilator section has a full length Rear Mounting Bracket at the rear for bolting to the wall and/
or hanging from the overhead. There are two other full length hanging brackets; the Middle Mounting
Bracket and the Front Mounting Bracket for hanging from the overhead (refer to Figure A-2-1). All three
Hanging Brackets have pre-punched holes centers for hanging from the overhead. Hanging rods to be
supplied by the Ventilator installer. If the rear bracket is used for bolting to the wall the holes must be
drilled by the installing contractor at a support point in the wall. Refer to Table T-A-2-1 for minimum
number of mounting points.
4. It is recommended that the number of hanging rods used be no less than the recommend minimum as
shown on Table T-A-2-1.
5. The Ventilator(s) must be installed at the distance from the finish floor and the minimum side overhang
dimension from the end of the Ventilator to the cooking equipment as shown on the Gaylord Submittal
Drawings.
6. When there is a continuous Ventilator made up of two or more sections it is recommended that each
Ventilator section is hung individually. Angles are provided at the top of the sections for bolting together.
The bolts are provided by Gaylord. Hem strips and bolts are provided by Gaylord for joining the Ventila-
tors on the underside where visible.
