Advance Planning; Power Supply - GE UVW8301 Instructions

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning
■ This hood is designed to be vented vertically
through the ceiling. Use an 8" round duct. Use
locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally
through the rear wall.
■ Use metal ductwork only.
■ Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
■ Plan the route for venting exhaust to the
outdoors. To maximize the ventilation
performance of the vent system:
1. Minimize the duct run length and number of
transitions and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible
vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that
greatly reduces performance.
■ Maximum equivalent duct length for 100 CFM:
150 foot for vent hoods.
■ Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the
exterior opening. Purchase the wall or roof cap
and any transition and length of duct needed in
advance.
■ When applicable, install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building code
requirements. Use makeup air kit JXMUA8.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof
or the wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is
needed and installed immediately above the hood.
