Installing dome hood in the kitchen with his hands

Content

design options

Dome drawing may differ in the materials used in the manufacture, installation method, the principle of operation. Most often it is made of stainless steel structure, coated or covered with enamel, at least for the manufacture of their use wood or plastic. In assembling the device affect design features:

• trim option is hung against a wall;
• angular apply an appropriate location plate;
• island designed to be hung over the plate, which is located in the center of the kitchen.

Operating principle

The complexity of the work depends on the principle of action. Circulating hoods operate without being connected to the duct, the air is purified embedded filter system and back into the kitchen. More sophisticated looks installing dome hood flow type. Its installation requires connection to Air Release trunk, but it is better than the previous type cleans the air. Some models have a combined design and can operate in both modes, as desired.

Selection of parameters

Before you install the fireplace hood, it is necessary to attend to the equipment parameters with respect to the room size and the requirements for its installation. Proper selection of these features provide maximum air cleaning. These include:

• performance,
• size,
• placement height.

cleaning performance

In this case, the volume of air that is able to clean the equipment per unit of time. To determine what should be the level of performance necessary to calculate the amount of work the kitchen and the ventilation rate. As a quantitative index of the last parameter is recommended to use the average air exchange per minute, equal to 12. It should be borne in mind that the cleaning efficiency affects the number of the tribes of the ventilation ducts and the speed of filling the room with harmful substances. It is known that one foot 90 is in a loss of 10%, and the rate of filling of small spaces higher than the marker. Therefore, the performance should be chosen with a margin.

Physical specifications

It makes no sense to install an air purifier with a socket size under the hob area. She will not be able to capture the entire volume of vapor, much of which will remain in place.

The ideal ratio is the one where the air inlet area will be somewhat greater than the area of ​​the cooking surface plate.

Manufacturers offer models with different parameters, the most common of 50 and 60 centimeters in width, which corresponds to the standard size of the majority of gas and electric cookers.

height placement

The instructions for each model, the manufacturer recommends an optimal height range, which should be carried out the installation. In most cases the recommended lower limit is 65 cm, the upper - 90. For this Cooktop 65 and 70, respectively, for gas is significantly higher, 75 and 90. When the lower threshold violation occurs threat reflow structural elements. Upper implies comfortable access to the hob.

installation Procedure

Installation of the equipment is recommended to start after repair, when a place in the kitchen, stove and other items specified conditions. In this case it is easy to perform the layout space for placing the air cleaner. Before assembling the corrugations marking is performed or duct for air vent, after which the basic equipment can be mounted.

The use of corrugations

This flexible corrugated tube made of aluminum or plastic. It is recommended that the ventilation hole is located immediately above the hood installation location. Along with flexi hose supplied must be clamps, ventilation grille with mounting flange.

Corrugated pipe diameter is adjusted for the outlet hoods, typically 100 or 125 mm. It is not recommended zauzhat, however, if the performance of the equipment chosen by a significant margin, and too thick pipe will spoil the view, you can use a narrower adapter. It will be mounted on a wide outlet tube with a smaller diameter.

The procedure works as follows:

• the input shaft is put into the ventilation grille to the flange;
• corrugation, preferably in the unfolded state, is fixed on the flange clamp with the use of a silicone sealant;
• in the same way the lower end of the tube attached to the flange of the air cleaner.

The use of air

Corrugation is easy to install, but it will be too noisy at full throttle venting technology. It is not suitable for use when the output of the barrel hole is removed from the installation site. In this case, the kitchen range hood is mounted by means of a duct. This set of plastic tubes with round, square or rectangular cross-section.

To build tubes at the required distance from the connectors used similar material. Rotations are performed at laying duct via knees. The design is more rigid than the corrugated delivers significantly less noise, requires less additional fasteners at great length trace. As in the previous case, all the connections are made using a silicone sealant.

Main unit

Apart from these structural elements, for the operational need a set of tools which should be at hand:

• roulette, building level and pencil to mark;
• Drill for drilling with drill bits;
• screws, dowels and screwdriver for final fastening;
• sealant for insulating compounds.

After preparing all the necessary, you can start to work, which is performed in the following sequence:

• In accordance with the above parameters is performed marking, which is carried by the horizontal line and outlines points for drilling holes.
• When the four-point mounting distance measured from the lower to the upper fastenings pairs and using the same instruments carried dotted line drilling at the second pair of fasteners.
• If the height of the device is higher than target, the excess exhaust pipes are cut.
• By marking the required drill a number of holes, which gently hammered dowels.
• The final fastening by screws performed starting with the top pair of fasteners aligned to the target horizontal.
• Compound being completed with corrugations or duct.

additional recommendations

When deciding on how to install the entire set of equipment necessary to take into account the nuances of the technology itself and the features of the room. This will improve the efficiency of equipment and help to avoid possible problems during operation:

• it is desirable to equip the vent with a throttle valve closing operation circuit, when drawn off, it closes and prevents the heat output from the premises;
• lattice must be equipped with openings for natural air current;
• if installed kit is located in a private house, you should not withdraw feed from the basement, in order to avoid unpleasant odors;
• conditions for such a channel going outside must be performed on the leeward wall where efficiency will be higher;
• in old buildings, where the vent shaft to one of several apartments is necessary to consult with specialist, he will help you choose a model with the optimal settings that will not drive odors in the neighboring apartment;
• perhaps, for such situations the best fit circulation installation option.

The correct arrangement of ventilation equipment to ensure its effective and smooth functioning. Kitchen area will be much more comfortable for everyday use. If their knowledge and experience for a proper installation is not enough, it is better to use the services of professionals. This avoids additional costs and imposing on error correction and resetting the entire set of equipment.
