10 Duct PreparationDUCT INSTALLATION! WARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNING• To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, ducted fans must be ventedto outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawlspaces or garages.• Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can causepersonal injury or property damage.• To reduce the risk of fire, use only duct work materials deemed acceptable bystate, municipal and local codes.IMPORIMPORIMPORIMPORIMPORTTTTTANTANTANTANTANT• Best performance is achieved by using round duct instead of rectangular,especially when elbows are required.• If multiple elbows are needed, ensure that there is a minimum of 24” of straightduct between any two elbows.• Avoid “S” or “back to back” configurations caused by adjacent elbows.• Thermal breaks, such as a short section of non-metallic duct, should be used inareas of extreme cold.• A back-draft damper at the duct outlet may also be required.• Do not use flexible metal duct.• Do not use duct work that is smaller in cross-sectional area than therecommended size duct.• Do not rely on duct tape alone to seal duct joints. Use sheet metal screws asrequire to support the duct weight.• The vent hood and cooking appliance(s) must be removable if service is required.• Be certain that the duct work does not interfere with floor joists or wall studs.• It is important to keep a minimum number of turns in the duct run, and to keep therun as short as possible.• Do not restrict the air flow by reducing the duct cross-sectional areas whenmaking hard joints or squeezing through a tight area.• With concrete slab construction, “box-in” the duct work to prevent it fromcollapsing when the wet concrete is poured. Also allow room for electricalconduit.• Cross-drafts or air currents caused by adjacent open windows or doors, HVACoutlets, and ceiling fans reduce vent efficiency.
