Island Vent Hood

Today’s River House project was the installation of the island vent hood. The work was fairly straightforward with the most time spent ensuring that the vent was perfectly plumb and sealing the ductwork. I got a good upper body workout as it was necessary to hold a number of different components overhead while screwing them into place. Once installed, I had to open up the controller board and set a jumper to limit the maximum fan speed to 390 cfm. If you go over 400 cfm then you have to install a make-up air system which is something we do not need and didn’t want to be forced into. The hanging blue tape is to keep taller folks from running into the glass canopy before the island is installed. As it stands, I can just walk under it without banging my head.
