The air passes through them and returned to the room is already clean and fresh. Installing these devices easy (just enough to hang in the right place and plug it in), but they are ineffective in the purification process.
2. flow. This is the improved analogue of the previous device. It requires the mandatory air on the street, because absorbs all the contaminated air and sends it outside the house. Devices found more productive than the previous type, respectively - durable.

Choose from these variations is necessary in its sole discretion, because in a kitchen range hood fits perfectly, and the other - there will be a significant flaw.

Island style design suitable for parking spaces, but here you need to think about the design and performance of the device. Corner drawing more suitable for rooms, which provide for placement of gas equipment strictly in the corner. That is, if you can not move the gas stove, the angular exhaust systems are the ideal choice.

A few words about the device sizes

First of all, it is necessary to focus on room size and ventilation system directly to the circuit.

Remember that a direct role in determining the dimensions of the kitchen hood plays the size of the gas cooker or hob. If these parameters are the same as each other or hood will exceed the hob, then the absorption of odors and grease will be made in full.

What material is better hood

Performance - This option, which is responsible for the ability to extract high quality facilities to perform processing. The higher the value, so, consequently, the unit will carry out their work efficiently. However, at random to buy the instrument will not work.

To do this, you need to calculate at least the approximate performance. To perform this, you need a common room area multiplied by 12, then round off the value to a larger number.

Please note that the standard performance exhaust systems ranges from 702 to 1020 m³ / h. Accordingly, the higher the score, the more such a ventilation system will consume electricity.

	Add your height, plus add the height of the connector for attachment so that the lowest point rose above the stove exactly 0.75 m.
Once made holes in the walls, are putting our hoods body to him, anchoring screws or dowels using a screwdriver.

Of course, some of the nuances of the installation can vary depending on the model of the acquired drawing.

Pipe-corrugated aluminum - this is one of the usual devices that is used to connect the vent duct. Such an arrangement quickly connected to the outlet flange of equipment and is inserted into the ventilation shaft by means of a special adapter. The main advantage - it is easy attachment, but to the lack of such a duct is attributed increased noise that is generated during the passage of the air mass through the pipe.

Plastic ducts rectangular type suitable for the output of the drawing nozzle with a diameter of 125 mm. They are installed with the help of special adapters and connectors. Rectangular pipes have good bandwidth and seamlessly stacked on top of the kitchen furniture or easily attached to the wall.

Round plastic ducts are considered more difficult, since the majority of the strength and have built-in metal plate. At the same time, these tools last longer, do not undergo yellowing (on time) and excellent job with the task of withdrawal of contaminated air and odors.

Procedure for installation of pipes

We offer you a step by step algorithm duct assembly from the hood body directly to the outlet in the ventilation shaft.

Illustration	Description of the action
The first thing we do - we select the appropriate adapter to the diameter of the outlet flange to the hood.

Further stringing special adapter, which translates to a round design rectangular.
	We transfer this construction to the hood and fixed to the body, then perform plastic air ducts above the kitchen set and insert the tube into the prepared tap into the ventilation shaft.

After that, we check all connections for reliability and lack of slots.
