Summerset 12 inch Duct Cover for the 36 inch Vent Hood: a sleeve to hide the duct above your hood
The Summerset 12 inch Duct Cover for the 36 inch Vent Hood is a stainless steel sleeve that hides the duct above an outdoor kitchen hood. It slides over the exposed duct above the hood, so you see one column of stainless steel instead of bare duct. Stack two or three to reach a higher ceiling. Each cover is 12 inches tall. It fits only the 36 inch hood. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
It goes on from the outside, so you can add it to a hood that is already up. Have a wider hood? See the Summerset 12 inch Duct Cover for the 42 to 72 inch Vent Hoods. The Summerset 12 inch Duct Cover for the 36 inch Vent Hood ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does a duct cover actually cover?
The exposed ducting that runs from the top of your 36-inch vent hood toward the ceiling or roof penetration. The VH36-2-DC is a 12-inch stainless sleeve that hides that run, so the finished install shows one continuous column of 304 steel instead of bare duct.
What if my ceiling is higher than 12 inches above the hood?
Stack them – the covers are designed to be used singly or stacked in multiples for longer top duct runs. Measure from the top of the 36-inch hood to the ceiling and order enough 12-inch sections to close the distance completely.
Does it fit the larger hoods too?
No – this cover is sized to the 36-inch hood’s chimney footprint. Summerset makes a separate 12-inch cover for the 42 through 72-inch models, so if you run a wider canopy from our outdoor vent hood range, order that version instead.
Is it purely cosmetic?
Mostly, and that is the job – but the 304 stainless shell also shields the ducting from weather, grease film, and knocks. Think of the VH36-2-DC as the trim panel that turns a mechanical duct run into finished outdoor-kitchen architecture.
Will the finish match my hood?
Exactly – it is the same 304 stainless steel as the 36-inch hood below it, so the column reads as one factory piece. There is no color-matching gamble the way there is with a painted or framed-in duct chase.
How does it install?
It sleeves over the duct atop the 36-inch hood and fastens in place – a quick step your hood installer handles at the end of the job. Stacked sections go on the same way, one above the next, until the run is fully concealed.
What warranty does it carry?
Summerset’s Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty – the same coverage as the hood the VH36-2-DC sits on. A trim part you will look at every time you cook is guaranteed to keep looking right for the life of the kitchen.
