The efficiency of exhaust equipment depends on the correct choice and competent installation. Power, performance, hood height over a gas stove - All these parameters must strictly comply with special requirements. Otherwise, the device will not be able to fully clean the air. Therefore, we will analyze the main points of choice and installation.

The principle of the exhaust device

In the process of cooking food in the house, not only appetizing smells appear. Scoop particles, fat and spent gas accumulate over the stove and gradually rise together with the heated air flow, where they fall into the system of the system. Three of its main types are distinguished:

Flow or circulating

The air flow enters the inside of the case, from where it is fed to the opening of the ventilation shaft and is removed outward. The design assumes the presence of a fat filter, which holds the largest contamination fragments, and a fan that creates cravings. There are models that not only remove, but also serve fresh street air. The equipment is necessarily equipped with an air duct that connects it to the ventshah.

Flowing hoods are connected to the ventilation mine. Such models are usually characterized by greater power and performance.

-->

Recycling

The flow coming from the kitchen passes through the filtering system where it is cleared of impurities and fed to the room. The degree of cleaning depends on the type and number of filters. Their minimum is two: rough fat and coal, delaying small particles and smell. Structurally, the equipment differs from the flow rate presence of a larger number of filters and the absence of the air duct, since the connection to the ventkane is not required.

Combined

Combines the capabilities of the first and second option, it works in circulation and recycling modes. Requires an air duct connecting equipment with ventilation. It can be very convenient if Ventkanal for any reason periodically does not work. At this time, functions in recycling mode.

Flowing models, as a rule, are characterized by greater power and performance. They are less likely to maintain and do not require regular investments on the purchase of consumables. But you can only put them where there is the possibility of connecting to good ventilation. Otherwise, recycling equipment is used. It is important to choose the type of product correctly, since the method of its installation depends on it.

Selecting the type of exhaust depends on the conditions of its operation. In addition, all systems, regardless of their type, differ in the installation method. This is the second important point that determines the choice of the desired product.

Hood for gas stove: variety of options

All systems, regardless of their type, differ in the installation method. This is the second important point that determines the choice of the desired product. Some complexity lies in the fact that sellers make confusion, distinguishing models according to their appearance: flat, dome, inclined, etc. In fact, everything can be divided into three groups:

Suspended

These hoods are fixed on the wall above the stove. Fastenings are on the back of the housing. Externally, it can be the most different. Inexpensive products with simple design look like small rectangular boxes. More expensive inclined models attract modern execution. There are still fireplace or dome devices with large originally decorated exhaust umbrellas. But they are attached in any case on the wall.

Embedded

Such structures are installed inside furniture, more often than a wardrobe. Other options are possible, for example, the assembly of a separate original cabinet. The housing is completely closed with a furniture facade. Outside, the lower working part of the device remains, into which the air is delayed, and the control panel. Air duct, if provided, is also located inside the headset. The conclusion is made in the maximum proximity to venetusti. It is easier to observe this rule in a private house, where it is easier to perform the exit where necessary.

Island

Relatively recently emerging systems. Their difference is that they are fixed to the ceiling above the stove, significantly removed from the wall. Used in island kitchens. The main complexity in the installation of such models is to summarize the air canal, since the distance to the ventilation shaft may be significant. Although at some interiors, for example, in the Loft style, engineering communications will fit perfectly.

Island hoods attach to the ceiling. The main complexity in the installation of such models is to summarize the air canal.

Determining with the choice, it is important to pay attention to the ability to connect the reservoir air channel and the distance from the mine to the installation site of the exhaust system. This will help properly choose the type of device and the method of its attachment. Then they pick up power, performance, etc.

FEATURES OF MONTAGE

An independent setting of the exhaust device is made taking into account the technical nuances that we will now understand.

Distance from gas stove to exhaust

There are standards that determine the mounting height. It is impossible to ignore them. The distance varies from 750 to 850 mm. The minimum value will be justified in the case of the purchase of low-power equipment, high power models can be placed above. It is impossible to lower the device below if it is not allowed by the manufacturer.

The reason is that open fire is capable of climb enough. It is possible to ignite the drawing, especially if its filters have not been cleaned long ago. The molar fat, accumulating on the filter grid, lights up easily, extinguish it difficult. Even if ignition does not happen, the device lowered too low will warm up, which will not be better affected by its work.

The exhaust device must be raised above the slab on a safe distance / reason in the fact that the open fire is able to rise quite high.

Preparation of place of installation

Special attention should be paid to the place for which the design is planned. Be sure to check the strength of the wall, it may be necessary to strengthen it. In small-sized kitchens, gas pipes can interfere with fixing the hood. It happens that they pass at the place of future attachment. If it is possible, it is best to transfer the stove to another place, but it does not always happen.

There are two more solutions to the problem. The first cost and troublesome. He implies the transfer of pipes that they make representatives of the gas company after a preliminary statement. The second is to put a wooden bar for fastening, the thickness of which will be greater than the diameter of the pipe. In a wooden part, it is performed for a pipe, after which it is securely fixed to the wall. Equipment is attached from above.

If gas pipes interfere with the setting of the exhaust, they are sometimes transferred to another place. Such works make representatives of the gas company after a preliminary statement.

Extension and duct configuration

It is best that its length is minimal, and the simplest form. Standards designed for ventilation do not recommend choosing complex trajectories with turns. Each turn reducing the capacity of the product is 5-10%, since it reduces the thrust. The length of the channel is also important, because it affects the efficiency of the device. What it is higher, the worse the device works.

Air ducts can be selected different. The easiest way to install a metal corrugation, which is easily bent and takes the necessary form. However, the result is not too attractive outward. For this reason, the corrugation is covered with decorative linings. The hard box of plastic includes direct parts and a set of adapters. It is more difficult to collect them, but it looks like a canal aesthetic.

Ventilation shaft for boiler, columns and exhaust device can not be common. It should be equipped separate. Before mounting, the return valve is installed on the ven substitution, it is also called a clapboard. With the "tipping" of the thrust, it will not allow a contaminated airflow to the room. The easiest way to put a node of the factory production, but if desired, it can be collected independently.

Non-primary air ducts are closed with decorative boxes. For example, in a hard box of plastic. It is more difficult to collect them, but it looks like a canal aesthetic.

How to set a hood over a gas stove: Instructions for the suspension model

Devices of this type are mounted simply enough. Works are carried out in this way:

1. We carry out markup. To do this, mark the height of the lower edge of the case, then we determine the axial line. We apply the template to the marketers received, which is attached to the equipment. If it is not, we plan plots under the fasteners.
2. Cooking fasteners. Drills holes, insert in them plastic liners.
3. Install brackets, securely fix.
4. We hide the body to the brackets, fix it.

It remains to connect the device to the correctly assembled air duct and to the network.

Pendant models are attached to the wall above the stove. Devices of this type are mounted simply enough.

Installation of an embedded device

Hang over the gas stove extractable type hood is a bit more complicated. It is installed inside the suspension locker. It must be previously removed, then perform such operations:

1. We plan the installation locations of fasteners and holes under the air channel if it is provided by the model. Mounts are best placed on a stencil, which should go complete with the device. Fix it on the side wall of the furniture.
2. Drills holes under the fasteners and drink the opening under the air canal.
3. We put the guides and fix them with fasteners.
4. Insert the housing to the locker, fix on the guides.
5. We hide the furniture on the wall, securely fix on the spot.

We collect the air duct if you need it. We skip the pipe through the studs prepared in advance.

It remains to properly hang on the place of the cabinet door and turn on the device ready for operation into the outlet.

Embedded equipment is installed in the cabinet. The main thing is to properly hang on the door of the cabinet and turn on the device ready for operation into the outlet.

Installation of an island model

Such structures differ in diversity, but in general terms, installation includes several stages:

1. We plan on the ceiling the place where the system will be installed.
2. Drills holes under fasteners and put the mounting bracket.
3. Once again we specify the height of the installation of the device. After that we collect perforated guides.
4. Mount the decorative casing-duct.
5. Fix the guides on the bracket. We set the casing on them and fix it.
6. Self-plugs fix the casing to the bracket.
7. We put in place and fix the working panel, mount the filters and elements of protection.

Island exhaust housing can have a different shape. In general, the installation is similar to different models and includes several stages.
