Installation Dimensions
Venting Requirements
■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
■ Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight
vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
■ The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air ow and a thermal break should be installed to
minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent
system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal
break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of
air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your
area.
Venting Methods
Typical Internal Blower Motor System Venting
Installations
A 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 10" (25.4 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent
creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent
through the wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
