Ducting Do’s and Don’ts
NEVER restrict the duct size. The island dual blower unit (T200) requires 8” round duct or
equivalent (50 square inches). The island cluster blower unit (T400) requires 12” round or
equivalent (113 square inches). Using the included Vent-A-Hood transition will ensure proper
efciency.
Do not use exible or corrugated duct. This type of duct will restrict airow and reduce
performance. Only use smooth, galvanized, metal duct. Observe local codes regarding special
duct requirements and placement of duct against combustibles. Make the duct run as short
and as straight as possible with as few turns as possible. Avoid sharp-angled turns. Instead,
use smooth, gradual turns such as adjustable elbows or 45 degree angled turns. For duct runs
over 20 feet, increase the duct diameter by one inch for every ten feet of duct. A 90 degree
elbow is equal to 5 feet of duct. Using Vent-A-Hood roof jacks or wall louvers (back page) will
ensure proper efciency. Airow must not be restricted at the end of the duct run. Do not use
screen wire or spring-loaded doors on wall louvers or roof jacks. Do not terminate venting into
an attic or chimney. Where possible, seal joints with duct tape. The hood must be ducted to the
outdoors without restrictions.
