Can this unit be ducted to the kitchen to be used as a roof mounted kitchen exhaust hood fan?

I should really check the "I don't know" box, but a few considerations come to mind. (1) this is a powerful and reasonably noisy fan...ones built for the purpose of kitchen venting might be quieter. (2) you're dealing with a lot of grease and crud if you're over anything that produces smoke (such as an indoor bbq) and I doubt if this is built to handle that, (3) I should think that a hood arrangement built for the purpose might be just as cheap as a built-to-order stainless hood and duct work ( you would, of course, want stainless); (3) this is meant to evacuate an entire attic -- you could create quite a (detrimental) draft ducting it down to a single hood and/or overload the motor with restrictive duct work. But I don't see why it wouldn't work given the proper analysis and engineering. It is an exhaust fan, after all. If you're exhausting an entire (kitchen) room, I should think that the only things you need to worry about are the noise and potentially restrictive/overloading/damaging duct work.

I don't see why not, but air flow operates from the back so you would have to arrange venting from the cabinet or the unit would overheat.

This unit in only suitable for protected outdoor installation. There is no way to vent the fumes through a duct, Noritz makes another model for that.

It would work great if mounted in the attic and ducted, might be a little noisy otherwise as it moves a lot of air.

You can do either - but the advantage of ducting/exhausting to the exterior is that the noise will be directed outdoors. Also, don't forget that you'll need to provide fresh air intake - again, this can come from indoors or outdoors - but if from the outdoors, you will need to add a compressor heater if the temperature of the intake drops below 40F. This option (the compressor heater) is available on our site as an option when building this cooling unit.

This didn't apply to me. I built a small hobby paint spray booth and mounted the exhaust fan directly to the wall for direct venting into a crawl space above some eave vents. Input is open with some baffles in front to have consistent airflow across the paint booth.

I would recommend purchasing a microwave that is not meant to mounted above a stove & doesn't include an exhaust fan. That said, I'm sure if you didn't want to use the exhaust fan that it could be built in. Can't imagine why anyone would?

The downdraft fan and duct assy. is probably extends between 12 and 18 inches below the level of the counter. Our house has a duct that goes under the floor and out of the house. If you already have a hood, you don't need a downdraft cook top.

I believe so, Depending on how much air flow the hood has. This had a flap on a spring that seals the unit when the blower isint on. One thing I will caution. This is made from separate pieces of metal. so it needs to be caulked very well to seal it. I did not do this and I had water coming down the inside of the vent and dripping on my stove. I had to remove it and re caulk every-joint .. inside and out .. Now, no more problems

Hello Alfonso, Unfortunately, none of the units that we offer are able to be ductless, they all require ducting out of the structure. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Range Hood Direct Buy

I'd be wary of doing that -- the fan needs to have access to a lot of open circulating air, not sure a pantry closet can offer that.

I would say no. This fan mounts in the wall. It fits through the thickness of the wall and vents directly to outside, using no duct. If you need to use a 4 inch vent pipe, I would buy a fan made for that application.

I don't think so. You can do that by using the roof vent with exhaust flapper.

I think is would work fine. It does make some noise when it's running,but not much more than a regular vent hood.

I installed one of these as a bathroom exhaust fan--used a ceiling vent plate that had a 4"duct nipple (you can use an A/C ceiling plate) and then ducted it into the attic to the TD-100 and then more duct to the house ridge vent. I used regular Romex 14-2 with a ground from a timer to the fan. The fan has a connection box on it to make the connections using compression screws that are all supplied.

Ours is vented outside, but it can be used as a ductless range hood if you prefer.

It really needs to be ducted. That is the purpose of the fan... to draw smoke and odors out of the kitchen. It doesn't have to be an outside duct if you have an attic area.
