YouTubeYou want the ductwork as short as possible and with as few 90 degree bends as possible. The longer the ductwork and the more the duct changes direction the more air pressure that builds up in the ductwork and the effective CFM is reduced.

How far can I run my ductwork?
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Can I duct the Range Hood into my attic or crawl space?
Thursday, October 1st, 2009No. You should never exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl space or garages. The humidity and grease collect in this space.
What is the difference between a ducted range hood and ductless range hood?
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Often called a re-circulating range hood a ductless hood will filter the air, generally through carbon filters, and return the air back into the kitchen area. Ducted Range Hoods do not use or need charcoal filters because they remove the air to the outside of the house through “ductwork” this ductwork is normally 6″-10″, depending on the size and requirement of air to be removed. Obviously the fully ducted type of range hood is preferred but this is not always possible.
