recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 11.

any vent hood.
Total Length = 41 ft.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be
cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the space between studs, or the wall should be
prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate the exhaust duct.
