Duct cover accessories
Standard duct covers
Standard duct covers are for Professional restaurant-style,
tapered- and straight-sided hoods. Available in 6" and 12"
heights, duct covers may be stacked in various combinations
to conceal the ductwork running from the top of the hood.
To avoid unsightly gaps above the hood, plan the hood
installation height with consideration to duct cover use.

Installation height requirements
Restaurant-style hoods
These vent hoods must be installed 30" minimum to 36"
maximum above the standard 36"-high cooking surface.
When installed with the warming shelf, allow 32" minimum to
38" maximum clearance. The exact hood installation height is
determined by the ceiling height.
1. Measure the exact ceiling height.
2. Review the chart at right to determine the range of hood
installation heights that can be accomplished with a 6"
or 12" duct cover accessory.
• Increase or decrease hood installation height to
accommodate the fixed 6" or 12" duct cover heights.
• Duct covers may be stacked, in various combinations,
to reach ceiling heights.
Note: When determining the installation height, consideration
must be given to the use of the warming shelf.
