DUCT FITTINGSThis Hood Must Use an8” Round Duct. It CanTransition to 3-1/4” x 10”or 3-1/4” x 12” Duct.Use this chart to compute maxi-mum permissible lengthsfor duct runs to outdoors.NOTE: Do not exceed maximumpermissible equivalent lengths!Maximum duct length:100 foot for range hoods.Flexible ducting:If flexible metal ducting is used,all the equivalent feet values inthe table should be doubled.The flexible metal duct shouldbe straight and smooth and ex-tended as much as possible.DO NOT use flexible plasticducting.NOTE: Any home ventilationsystem, such as a ventilationhood, may interrupt the properflow of combustion air andexhaust required by fireplaces,gas furnaces, gas water heat-ers and other naturally ventedsystems.To minimize the chance ofinterruption of such naturallyvented systems, follow the heat-ing equipment manufacturer’sguidelines and safety standardssuch as those published byNFPA and ASHRAE.5Installation PreparationTotal Duct Run* Actual length of straight duct plus duct fittingequivalent. Equivalent length of duct pieces arebased on actual tests conducted by GE Evalua-tion Engineering and reflect requirements for goodventing performance with any ventilation hood.TotalEquivalent Quantity EquivalentDuct Piece Dimensions Length* Used LengthRound, 1 ft.
