RANGE HOODS
A compiled list of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to finding and choosing the best range hood for you.
Almost all of our range hoods come with a standard 110v 3-prong plug. The only models that do not come with a plug is our UC500 model and some island units. If you are unsure the model you are looking at comes with a plug, please email us at info@victoryrangehoods.com and our team can help you.
Yes, all of our range hoods will come with a transition piece to connect your ducting to the hood fan. Some units have a choice of duct size, in this case the transition piece supplied will match the duct size chosen on your order.
It is very important to make sure your duct size matches the ducting on your range hood. If your ducting reduces to a smaller size at any point, this will reduce the CFM output of your hood and make it much louder.
For optimal effeciency your ducting should be as short as possible with minimal elbows. The longest your ducting should ever be is 50ft, but the shorter it is the more effecient your range hood will be. To calculate your duct length with elbows, please see the example below. You should never install an elbow within 12 inches of the range hood. If you have multiple elbows in your ducting they should also be at least 12-18 inches apart. The closer your elbows are to your hood and/or eachother, the louder and less effecienct your range hood will be. Range hoods should always be vented using metal ductwork. Smooth ducting is better than flexible or ribbed because smooth straight ducting won't reduce or restrict the airflow as much as a flexible duct will. The distance you will need for an elbow changes with each size. 6" ducting needs 9", 8" ducting needs 12" and 10" ducting needs 15". Once you know the desired height from the cooktop to your range hood, add the height of the hood (without chimney covers for chimney hoods) and the height of duct transtion. All of our range hoods have their specific dimension diagrams available on the store page and in their manual. We have extensions available for most of our wall mounted chimney hoods for 10' to 12' ceilings. If your ceiling is higher than 12' then you will either need to lower the ceiling or get a custom extension fabricated locally. No, if you duct into a box or an open space this will completely kill the suction of your range hood and make it extremely loud. If you do not have space to install the ducting properly with your existing duct then we highly recommend replacing your ducting.

Very happy with this range hood. Fast delivery, easy to follow instructions and good quality. It is very quiet and has bright adjustable lighting. Great dealing with Victory Range Hoods. We had been looking for a quality hood for a couple of months. Your product was the only one I did not see in person. Very glad that we chose Victory. Solid construction, quality controls, Canadian made, quick delivery. Very happy with our purchase. Will recommend to others. I can’t say enough about the Victory Sunset flush mount range hood. It’s exactly what I was looking for and is a beautiful focal point of my kitchen. I’m impressed with everything from the packaging to the ease of installation. The directions are easy to follow right down to the wiring and the fan is quiet even on high. I highly recommend Victory range hoods they are worth every penny, first time in a long time I feel that I got what I paid for. Love the low profile, the adjustable lighting and the quietness of the fan. Very easy install and easy to follow instructions Heavy duty, beautiful finishing, quiet and effective. Victory was a pleasure to deal with. We love our partners at Victory. Local 🇨🇦is important to us. The service and quality are both excellent. Warranty also stands behind the craftsmanship and quality of their products! Looks great. I get a rattle sound on the lowest setting. For quick but noisy odours gone the full setting is good First, this hood should have a better photo that clearly shows how rounded it is at the top. This wouldn't have changed my decision to order it, but it might for someone else. Second, the installation method was awful; there's no other word for it. The backplate provided was not wide enough to reach even one stud, keyholes do not work for a range that sits flush up under a cabinet (there's no room to slide) and the instructions claimed that we would need only the backplate OR to drill up through the hood. This resulted in my husband holding up a 60 pound hood while I attached the backplate (to solid wood that I had run between the studs) and then for about 20 minutes after that while I figured out how to get it actually secure. There were no actual pilot holes, and I was drilling from above (the underneath is too tight to get a drill in), so I had to just attempt to aim for the drawn-on hole placements so I could screw a nut in underneath. Truly one of the worst installation experiences I've had. My four star rating is because now that it's hung, it feels like a good quality appliance and does a great job clearing the smoke, vastly better than our old over-the-range microwave. Hi Jessica, thank you for the feedback! We are sorry to hear about the difficulty with the installation. Our team will review all installation instructions as per your comments. We are glad that you are satisfied with the performance of the range hood. Our support team is available to help if you require any further assistance at all. Please email support@victoryrangehoods.com for any inquiries. Thank you again for the feedback.
