Ceiling Support Structures
This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure
and support must be provided in all types of
installations. Framing must support minimum
1501b load.
At the hood location, install 2"x 4" cross framing
between ceiling joists as shown. (2"x 4" are
required to support the weight of the hood.)
(fig. Q)
Arrange cross framing in the ceiling to suit the
existing structure (fig. Q).
Your ceiling joists will be like one of the following
examples.
