Clearance Dimensions

(VWHO/CVWHO 18"H. Outdoor Wall Hoods)

Note: Outdoor Models must be installed in a covered, non-enclosed area, and should be protected from the elements as much as possible.

The bottom of the hood should be 30" (76.2 cm) to 36" (91.4 cm) above the grill surface. The hood should be installed 4-1/2" (11.4 cm) plus the distance between the back trim and surface from the back wall. (Note: There is a 3" minimum clearance from the back trim to non-combustible surfaces, and a 24" minimum to combustible surfaces.) This will require building the hood out from the wall. Any combustible material used for this purpose must be covered with locally-supplied stainless steel. Viking also recommends using a backsplash.

* A 1,200 CFM interior- or exterior-power ventilator should be used when installed over range/rangetop with gas char-grill. Max duct run is 50 ft.
** It is recommended that the 1,500 CFM ventilator be used with longer duct runs. Max duct run is 75 ft. NOTE: Maximum amp rating for hoods includes recommended ventilator kit rating; All products must be hard wired with 2-wire with ground. An interior- or exterior-power ventilator kit must be purchased for installation with all 18"H. hoods.

Planning Information

Proper installation of ducting is extremely important to ensure maximum performance from any ventilation product.

• All CFMs are based on tests at 0.1 static pressure: without applying static pressure, CFM would be greatly overstated.
• Straight runs and gradual turns are best; for example, each 90^ elbow is equivalent to 5-10 feet (1.52-3.05 cm) of straight run.
• Never use flexible duct; it creates back pressure/air turbulence and greatly reduces performance.
• Proper performance is dependent on proper ducting; make sure that a qualified and trained installer is used.
• Check with a qualified and trained installer or local codes for makeup air requirement, if any.
• Max. amp rating for hoods includes recommended ventilator kit rating; all products must be hard wired direct with 2-wire with ground.

Plan where the duct work will be located. Install proper-sized duct work, and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are using. Recommended hood locations for the most common installations are shown. Adjust your measurements for various heights of ceilings, soffits, cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.

Check Framing

NOTE: Because of the weight of the hood make sure that the mounting screws are driven into the framing and not just the drywall. It may be necessary to drill additional holes in the canopy for proper alignment.

NOTE: Wall exhaust must be a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) from ground. This may vary depending on local codes and geographic location.

Installation (VWH/CVWH 10"H./12"H. Wall Hoods w/Standard Ventilator)

Check damper for unrestricted movement, adjust if necessary.

Attach transition to damper. Seal with aluminum tape.
