* A "2" here indicates a 300/600 CFM, dual blower (900 equivalent CFM).
* A "3" here indicates one 300 CFM single blower and one 300/600 CFM dual blower (900 CFM total = 1350 equivalent CFM).
* A "4" here indicates two 300/600 CFM dual blowers (1200 CFM total = 1800 equivalent CFM).
What does Equivalent CFM mean?
CFM ratings, for hoods using mesh or baffle filters, are overstated by approximately 1/3 because they are tested without the filters in place. A mesh or baffle filtered hood, rated at 450 CFM, actually delivers only about 300 CFM of airflow after the filters are placed in the air stream.
Because it uses a centrifugal filtration system with nothing to obstruct the airflow, the Vent-A-Hood Magic Lung® blower is much more efficient, delivering airflow equivalent to a "filtered" hood - but with a lower CFM rating. When comparing the Magic Lung® to blower units made by other manufacturers, use the "Equivalent CFM".
** In addition to stainless steel, Vent-A-Hood is also available in standard painted finishes, dozens of custom paint colors as well as real brass (smooth) and real copper (smooth or hammered finish).

18" tall hoods should be installed with the top 7ft. from the floor. Vent-A-Hood has standard duct covers that install on top of the hood, allowing it to reach 8, 9 & 10ft. ceilings. Custom duct covers are also available.
