Installation Instructions
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
Use minimum 26″ gauge galvanized or
24 gauge aluminum duct 3
1
⁄4″ x 10″ or
6″ round. PVC duct should be used if
installing under a poured concrete slab.
DO NOT USE flexible ducting.
• Always use appropriate roof or wall
cap with damper. Laundry type wall
caps should never be used. See the
Ductwork Length and Duct Fittings
chart.
• Use the straightest duct run possible.
• For satisfactory performance the duct
run should not exceed 150 feet or its
equivalent length when bends or
various fittings are used. Refer to the
table of equivalent lengths to calculate
your installation.
• Install ductwork so the piece of duct
nearest the downdraft unit slots INTO
the next piece of the duct. Secure the
joints with self-tapping screws and
apply duct tape around the joints to
ensure an airtight seal.

screws (not supplied).
