What is Range Hood Height?

Range hood height is the distance from the cooktop to the bottom of the range hood. It is important to install the range hood at the proper height to ensure effective ventilation of smoke, steam, and cooking odors from the kitchen. The recommended distance can vary based on the range hood manufacturer and the type of cooktop (gas or electric), but it typically ranges from 20 to 30 inches above the cooktop.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Range Hood Height (RHH):

\[ RHH = 36 + 24 = 60 \text{ inches} \]

The Range Hood Height (RHH) is 60 inches.
