The flexible metalduct should be straight and smoothand extended as much as possible.Do NOT use flexible plastic ducting.Total Duct RunNOTe: Any home ventilation system, such as a ventilationhood, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air andexhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas waterheaters and other naturally vented systems. To minimizethe chance of interruption of such naturally vented systems,follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelinesand safety standards such as those published by NFPAand ASHRAE.* Actual length of straight duct plus duct fitting equivalent.Equivalent length of duct pieces are based on actual testsconducted by GE Evaluation Engineering and reflectrequirements for good venting performance with anyventilation hood.This Hood MustUse 8" Round Duct.It Can Transition to3-1/4" x 12" Duct.
