Victory LUNA - Venting Requirements

• Duct system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the duct system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum duct only. Rigid metal/aluminum vent is recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic duct.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airow.
• Calculate the following gures before installation:
1. Distance from the oor to the ceiling.
2. Distance from countertop/stove to range hood (recommend* 24” to 30”).
3. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most e󰀩cient & quiet operation:
• A distance of 24” to 30” is recommended* between stove top and the bottom of range hood.
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6” or bigger
round metal/aluminum duct work.
• The size of the duct should be uniform.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 cm) of straight duct between the elbows if more than one
elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of duct system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide e󰀩cient
performance.
• The duct system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if
supplied) on top of the range hood.
• Use aluminum foil tape to seal all joints in the duct system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap. USE 6” ROUND ROOF OR
RECTANGULAR WALL VENT CAP.
IMPORTANT:
• Use a rectangular to circular transition to connect range hood to ducting system.
• A minimum of a 6” round duct (standard for this range hood) must be used to maintain maximum
airow e󰀩ciency.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when connecting to
provided duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows,
transitions and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns in the duct run. If a reducer is
used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reducing the duct size will restrict airow
and decrease e󰀩ciency.
• If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as
possible.
• Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24-inch*.
• Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.
• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose
its performance and e󰀩ciency.
• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round - 6” (use Aluminimum foil tape to properly seal)
• 9 ¾” x 3 ⅛” Rectangular Exhaust (use Aluminimum foil tape to properly seal)
* Due to different ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
