We are installing the exhaust hood motor in 2 parts. 1 is the installation and 1 is the wiring, any questions drop them in the comments. Thank you for watching
Currently building a food truck. Your videos have been a big help. Thank! Quick question: Why did you place the duct under the corner of fan opposed to centering it?
The stud layout of the trailer only gave me a few options had to go where it allowed me to. Find of like a house have to find where it fits without damaging structure
Thank you for filming this. Usually I'm using the 6Amp variable speed controller which seems to work fine(do you recommend something else)? Hooking together two exhaust fans to one controller... should I use a 10amp speed controller switch instead of 6amp? Thank you in advance
Thank you so much for the videos, I have a question if you have the time to respond. Is there a requirement for how long I have to have my hood? Please and thank you for any help.
I should get something together for everyone, a few people have asked this. Let me work on that. Anything specific you need now that I can point you in the right direction?
Frank, I didn't see any questions or answers pertaining to fire code requirements. My understanding is that most building / fire / health authorities require hood installation to follow NFPA guidelines of not being within 18" of combustible material or reducing it to 3" with an approved method. I see a lot of plywood and wood rafters where the vent was installed. How did you meet the clearance requirements to meet code? Also, these videos are amazing and perfect for novice food truck builders. Great work!
Good morning. No codes like those exist for us here in food trucks, in brick and mortar possibly but they don't cross over to mobile vendors in our county. Appreciate the feedback:)
Thank you for your greats video!!! I watched most of ur video today already to get an idea of building a food truck or want to know how I get into. I wonder about ur logo design and how much would it cost for the wrap around the trailer. Thank you 🙏
Hi Frank, I really like the content you upload. I have a question. Can I power my fridge 12volt to the battery where my converter is so I don't drain the trucks battery? What do you recommend on this? Please help. Thank you
Hello again, im looking for that vent that goes inside and im not able to find it. Any key words that can help me find that piece? Thanks I really appreciate your videos
Hey Frank did you put the ansel system in yourself or did you havento hire someone? Can you put links to the hood & exaust so i can purchase them sir. Thanks!!!! You're a life saver man
Appreciate the comment 👍👍 thank you. The ansul system no, had a company install it because it has to be certified called 3 companies and had it installed for $2,500
@@15surgess great question. 2 answers for you. 1: you still have to have someone come out to certify the system and that will be an extra expense 2: the nozzles for ansul depend on your equipment and I had no idea what I was going to Install when I purchased. Hopefully that helps
frank buenos dias, sigo tus videos para construir mi food trailer ,ya me as contestado varias de mis preguntas,y mas ke agradesido por tu tiempo, pero tengo un detalle de tamaño ,mi trailer es de 7 x 12, es el tamaño ke ocupo ,pero tengo 74 pulgadas de alto y eso me preocupa al poner el hood,krees ke tenga ke ordenas un hood especial ??!!
@@fbaltierrez muchas gracias por tu ayuda,pronto te enseñare mi trabajo para recivir tu opinion la estoi asiendo una replica a la tuya! Gracias de nuevo!
Hi Frank, thanks for the videos. I have a sloped roof in my shuttle bus so I think I need the same hood. I have checked hoodmarts site and can't find one with the angled cut out on the back. Was this a special order or do you have the model #?
There's probably a video of it out there but to answer the question in text. You take one of the wires from the switch hook it up to the power wire the other one is the wire that goes to the hood. The 2 white wires get connected together by themselves and buried in the box. And that's it :)
That piece that come in from inside through the hood and outside to roof can it be dead center or it has to be off to the right like yours or it all depends on how it falls once you have the hood up. Please help?
Right! But as far as the duck on top where you had to cut the 1" lip can it be right center so its easier to cut and yes as long its withting the bay stud
@@miguelavila2219 on the flat part on top I'm assuming you mean. Well if you get the back that is on an angle they call it chamfer back then there is no extra space on where to cut
I believe I’m not explaining my self my apologies! I was talking about the flat piece of square that hood mart sends that covers the top where the fan rests on, yours was to the right bottom a little where you had to cut it, I was thinking it can be center so the cut it’s easier can I do that. 5:47 to 7:27 on video; thanks for the response your awesome and thanks for the help
Thank you for watching:) let me know what you would like to see on a video and we can make it happen and hopefully it guides you in the right direction

I have always installed it with 6 inches of free space on either side
Thank you perfect DIY. Helped me tons with my concession trailer. Can you put links to where you got everything from

I believe it was about 2 or 3 thousand
Wow I've learned soooooooo much dam I was doing it wrong all this time and I've built like 8
Thank you for watching Randall, I've been doing electrical work for years and to this day I still learn cool new things 😎
Hey , whats the name of this metal part that you put in the hole on the roof . Between hood exhause ???
I would think they called it a curb plate came as a kit with the hood.
Hi Frank,
I really like the content you upload.
I have a question. Can I power my fridge 12volt to the battery where my converter is so I don't drain the trucks battery?
What do you recommend on this?
Please help.
Thank you
Good morning. Your fridge is 12 volt? Or you want to run it on 12 volt when not open?
Hello again, im looking for that vent that goes inside and im not able to find it. Any key words that can help me find that piece?
Thanks I really appreciate your videos
It all comes as a kit from hoodmart. Don't know if you can find it separately
Hey Frank did you put the ansel system in yourself or did you havento hire someone?

Appreciate the comment 👍👍 thank you. The ansul system no, had a company install it because it has to be certified called 3 companies and had it installed for $2,500
Yes ill post links for the hood, but bought fromHoodMart. Great company
@@fbaltierrez Hello sir curious why didn't you go with the hoodmart version with the system already installed?

When you call in to order just ask for angled cut and they will do it for you 👍👍
question on your dimmer switch. ground on dimmer did you connect it to the homerun and switch leg grounds all together?. thank-you
Hi bro can you used a house hood ventilation or must be commercial grade ?
I have found that usually the HD requires it to be NSF Rated or something to that type of certification
Frank, does the duct being off center of the curb have any issue with the exhaust fan's performance. I can't get the duct to center with the curb.
No have had no issues works excellent its been there for 2 years now on mine 👍
@@fbaltierrez Thanks again!
I would only use Lap Sealant on the roof, never silicone.
Haven't had any issues yet, but if it does start leaking will use that type of sealant. Appreciate that tip 👍
Do you have a link for that exact hood? The ones I find have the 90 in the back and not the 45
You have to call in and request the 45 degree it's not available online
Hi frank can you write the list of the exhaust fan and any other part related with exhaust fan and where you bought those> thank you
They are all sold as a complete kit from Hoodmart 👍
Hi Frank, Does the hood and fan combo from hoodmart come with everything you need to complete the job?
I was wondering if you can show is how to wire the variable speed control switch that hoodmart sends with hood
There's probably a video of it out there but to answer the question in text. You take one of the wires from the switch hook it up to the power wire the other one is the wire that goes to the hood. The 2 white wires get connected together by themselves and buried in the box. And that's it :)
That piece that come in from inside through the hood and outside to roof can it be dead center or it has to be off to the right like yours or it all depends on how it falls once you have the hood up. Please help?
As far as I know it can where it falls in the stud bay. Doesn't have to be exact center as per my understanding
Right! But as far as the duck on top where you had to cut the 1" lip can it be right center so its easier to cut and yes as long its withting the bay stud

Can you do a video on your water heater system hook up
I can show you what I have in mine now, but to connect it all up will be a while on the new food truck
I have a. Question about the exhaust fan duct work
How about cleaning the fan unit? What is the maintenance on that thing?
I just clean the grills inside every other week. The top on the outside haven't done anything to it in past year still looks brand new
Do u seal the screws that’s located around the part u duck tape ?
Not around the screws just use washers
I am wanting to do a taco truck...can u tell me where you got all your accessories?
On the videos I have the links. 90% was from Amazon 👍👍👍
Do we need to have a water heater..and ill look at the links...thank you...
Did you get both duct work parts from hood mart
Yes Hood Mart provides pretty much everything needed
In building a sándwich food truck i can use a hood from homedepot ?
What did you use to secure the hood fan motor to the base?
where do you buy it?
Hoodmart
