Proximity Hood
NOTE: If you have a Back Supply
Plenum, this must be installed before
the hood. Please see page 8 now.
Prior to installation, check with local
authorities having jurisdiction on
clearances to combustible surfaces.
With the hood still inside its packing
crate, position the unit beneath its
installation location.
Carefully remove the packing crate.
Place some protective material on
the floor next to the crate to avoid
damaging the hood as it is tipped on its side (Fig. 1). Tip the hood carefully onto the protective
material. If you have filler panels, see Fig. 2 below. If you have integral filler panels, no additional
installation is needed.
Fig. 1
Rear filler panels may be shipped loose for field
installaton or are integral to the hood. If fillers are
integral to hood, skip this section.
1. Uncrate the hood and lay it on the floor with
protective material between the hood and the floor.
2. Bolt the filler panels together with 5/16 in. bolts
from the hardware package.
3. Position the filler panels on the hood, and tack-
weld them to the hood back.
4. To allow for ease of cleaning, caulk the external
seams with NSF Approved silicone caulk
(GE SCS1009, or its equivalent). The caulk is
not provided.

If a Back Supply Plenum is provided, install first. Before raising hood, insert 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) diameter
threaded rod (by others) into hanger brackets on hood top. Check the engineering drawings or UL
label located on the inside of the hood for proper hood height above finished floor. Install filler panels
if needed. Raise and hang hood from adequate roof or ceiling supports and secure mounting flange
to the wall using lag bolts, or fasten to the Back Supply Plenum if provided. All hanger brackets must
be used and the hood must be properly supported while lifting to prevent damage or distortion to the
hood. The hood must be hung level to operate properly. After hood is secured, make the exhaust duct
connections. The fire system distributer must be contacted at this time. After the fire system has been
installed, mount the enclosures, then the supply plenums. If a Horizontal Supply Plenum is provided, it
should be installed according to the external supply plenum installation section found on page 7. The
hood and accessories are now installed. Finally, make the electrical connections from switches to fans
and complete the fire system circuits as required by the job specification.
