VENT HOOD INSTALLATION (WITH SOFFIT)
SITE PREPARTION:
This Capital Performance Vent Hood has been designed to accommodate installation into a
1. Soffit structure (ceiling mount), or, for sites without a soffit structure.
2. Directly into the wall through holes provided in the rear panel of the Vent Hood (wall mount). When mounting
the hood to a soffit, it is recommended to also utilize the rear panel holes to gain additional stability and
minimize any vibration noise. We suggest that the final framing and wall finishing be done with the vent hood at
the site to more accurately locate ductwork and electrical service.
CONSTRUCT SOFFIT FRAMING:
1. For a site with a soffit, use 2” x 4”s to construct the soffit framing as showing below in fig. 1. Note that the
minimum opening of 10” is needed to accommodate the ductwork. With the centerline of the installation
marked, nail down the 2” x 4’s (wide side down) so that their inner edges are those specified from the
centerline. (see Figs. 3 & 4)
NOTE: The second (outer) set of 2” x 4”s are not necessary on the 30” model installation.
2. Make two wood shims (2 x 10-1/2 “ x drywall thickness). Attach them to the framing as
shown in Fig. 4. Mount shims flush with edges of framing and with front edges 11-1/2”
from finished back wall.
