Hood Exhaust System
The exhaust connection should be
installed by a qualified HVAC
contractor.
The exhaust connections on your hood
has been designed for 12" nominal pipe

pressure loss with proper transport
velocities away from the hood. Consult

require help sizing your blower for the
exhaust volume and total system static
pressure loss.
The selected exhaust duct material
should match the hood procedures and
chemicals used to ensure compatibility.
