Things to Know Before You Buy Range Hood ⚠️｜Ducting

1️⃣【What is the range hood duct?】
The range hood duct refers to the part that connects the range hood to the exhaust duct. It directs the cooking fumes from the range hood to the outside, ensuring effective ventilation in the kitchen. Therefore, the size of the duct plays a crucial role in the ventilation performance and installation of the range hood.

2️⃣【How does the duct size affect the range hood?】
A smaller duct size restricts airflow, thereby reducing the efficiency of the range hood. Even if the range hood has a high CFM, a smaller duct size can cause improper exhaust and result in backdraft.
