Summerset 4 inch Spacer Bracket for the 60 inch Vent Hood: a small offset for a grill set forward
The Summerset 4 inch Spacer Bracket for the 60 inch Vent Hood is a stainless steel bracket for a vent hood. It goes between the wall and the hood at install time and pushes the hood 4 inches farther out, so the hood ends up over the grates where the smoke rises. Use it when the grill sits forward on a deep counter. It fits only the 60 inch hood; each hood size has its own 4 inch and 8 inch brackets. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
Pick this depth for a small nudge when the grill sits just a little forward. The bracket hides behind the hood once it is up. Need the hood to reach farther out? See the Summerset 8 inch Spacer Bracket for the 60 inch Vent Hood. The Summerset 4 inch Spacer Bracket for the 60 inch Vent Hood ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does the 4-inch spacer do for a 60-inch hood?
It extends the big canopy’s reach over the cook line by 4 inches – enough to correct the common case where a grill-plus-side-burner layout sits slightly forward of where the 60-inch hood would naturally hang. Small part, but it decides whether smoke meets stainless or ceiling.
My hood is a different width – will this fit?
Order the spacer that names your hood – this one, VH60-3-SP4, is keyed to the 60-inch model in our outdoor vent hood line. The 36, 42, and 48-inch canopies each have their own dedicated 4-inch brackets.
What tells me 4 inches is enough?
The mounting diagram in the 60-inch hood manual plus a tape measure. If the grates sit just proud of ideal, 4 inches closes the gap cleanly; a grill positioned much further out is the 8-inch bracket’s territory instead of this one’s.
Does it match the hood’s construction?
Yes – 304 stainless steel, the same alloy as the double-lined 60-inch canopy. On a hood this large the bracket is genuinely structural, and Summerset builds it to the same corrosion standard as the visible steel rather than downgrading the part nobody sees.
Is installation part of the hood mounting?
Yes – the spacer goes on when the 60-inch hood is hung, adding one step to the same job. Given the canopy’s size and weight, settle the 4-versus-8 question with measurements before install day so the crew only lifts it once.
Will performance suffer with the hood spaced out?
No – the 60-inch hood keeps its dual-motor 2000 CFM regardless. Positioning the canopy properly over a wide cook line is what the spacer exists for, and correct placement captures more smoke than a flush-mounted hood sitting behind the action.
What is the warranty position?
Covered for life – Summerset’s Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty includes the VH60-3-SP4 alongside the hood it positions. On a flagship-scale installation, that means every component in the ventilation stack carries the same guarantee, hardware down to the bracket.
