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 aventilation hood, may interrupt the proper flow ofcombustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces,gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other naturallyvented systems. To minimize the chance of interruptionof such naturally vented systems, follow the heatingequipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safetystandards such as those published by NFPA and ASHRAE.* Actual length of straight duct plus duct fittingequivalent. Equivalent length of duct pieces are basedon actual tests conducted by GE Evaluation Engineer-ing and reflect requirements for good ventingperformance with any ventilation hood.This Hood MustUse 8" Round DuctIt Can Transition to3-1/4" x 12" Duct
