Which duct installation option should I choose for the “Elica Hidden” cooker hood?
Hello! Please tell me which version of the duct for a kitchen hood is more suitable for us.
Hood “Elika Hidden”, outlet diameter 150 mm, power 1200 m3. The hood is installed in such a way that there are 2 options for installing the duct - a plastic pipe with a transition to a diameter of 120 and two bends of 90 degrees, or a corrugation with a diameter of 150 mm.
Which option is the most correct and least noisy?

Hello. You better use the second option - a corrugation with a diameter of 150 mm, which will have one diameter over the entire length of the duct. Moreover, there will be no bends at right angles, which will not adversely affect the performance of the hood.
You don’t have to worry about noise - if the corrugation is correctly mounted and well fixed, then there will be no additional noise from it (buzzing, vibration, etc.). Elica Hidden hoods themselves have a noise level of up to 65 dB. Calculate the height depending on the power and type of hob.
