How do I install my commercial range hood?

Choose the Right Anchors Based on the Type of Wall

Before any installation, it is essential to determine the wall material. The choice of anchors and mounting hardware must be suited to the surface’s strength.

Types of Walls and Suitable Fasteners

• Brick or concrete walls: Use expansion anchors or chemical anchors for a secure hold.

• BA13 (drywall) wall: Reinforce the partition or mount the range hood to a metal frame.

• Wooden wall: Use lag screws or through-bolts for a secure attachment.

Minimum number of fasteners

To ensure the hood’s stability, it is essential to use:

• at least 4 wall fasteners,

• 2 ceiling fasteners, placed at the ends of the hood’s canopy.

Why these fasteners are essential

These anchor points distribute the weight and prevent any vibration or tipping. They ensure a durable installation that complies with safety requirements.

Tips for a Successful Installation

• Check the wall’s strength before drilling.

• Check that the hood is level to prevent it from tilting.

• If necessary, reinforce the wall before installing your equipment.
