End-to-End Hoods
The following is a step-by-step procedure for installation of end-to-end ventilation hoods. Refer to
Figures 4 and 5.
1. Follow steps 1 through 10 of the Installation of a Single Hood section for each hood.
2. Adjust tension on hanging rods to position hoods so they fit flush with each other as shown in
Figure 4.
3. Bolt the top of the hoods together. See Figure 5.
4. Once all of the hoods are hung, follow steps 11 through 19 of the Installation of a Single Hood
section.
5. NOTE: Hoods having more than a 1/8” gap between them must be repositioned so that gap
between hoods is <= 1/8”. Run a bead >=1/8” of silicone sealant along the lower horizontal seam
of the two hoods. Slip the U-channel trim, if applicable, over the seam as shown in Figure 4.
Tape can be used to hold the U-channel in place until the silicone cures. U-channel is not
required on hoods with Flanged ends.
6. Run a bead of the same silicone sealant along the front vertical seam between the two hoods.
Slip the T-strip trim between the hoods if applicable. See Figure 5. T Strip is not required on
hoods with flanged ends and fully welded, ground, and polished corners.
7. Proceed with steps 20 through 23 of the Installation of a Single Hood section.
