Coyote High Flue (for ceilings 9'8" - 12'0" in height)

Coyote High Flue (for ceilings 9′8″ – 12′0″) Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Coyote High Flue?

The Coyote High Flue is a stainless steel extension duct designed to connect an outdoor hood to a ceiling height range from 9 feet, 8 inches up to 12 feet. It bridges the gap between your ventilation hood and the ceiling or roof transition ductwork.

What materials and dimensions does it have?

It’s built from **304 stainless steel** for outdoor durability. The cross-section matches the hood outlet (e.g. ~14″ × 14″) while the vertical extension is scaled to suit the 9′8″ to 12′ ceiling range (the “high” version). Exact lengths and tolerances are specified by Coyote’s design specs.

Why would you choose the high flue over shorter flue options?

Because your ceiling is above the mid-range flue height, the high flue ensures a clean, continuous coverage from hood to ceiling without visible gaps. It maintains proper airflow continuity and aesthetic integration for tall ceiling installations.

At what ceiling heights exactly should it be used?

Use the high flue version when your ceiling height is between **9′ 8″ (9.67 ft) and 12′ 0″**. If your ceiling is lower, a shorter flue may suffice; if higher than 12′, consult with Coyote or a ventilation specialist for custom options.

What are the installation tips and precautions?

• Ensure the flue is installed plumb and centered over the hood outlet.
• Use stainless fasteners and seal all joints carefully to prevent water intrusion.
• Align so that the flue mates cleanly with ceiling duct transitions.
• Support the flue independently if long, so that hood load isn’t carried.
• Check local codes for required clearances, support spacing, and fire safety for vertical ducts.

How should I maintain or care for the flue?

Wipe down the stainless surfaces periodically with nonabrasive cleaner. Inspect joints, fasteners, and seals annually for loosening or corrosion. Ensure no sagging, warping, or stress in high wind environments. If connected to ductwork, check that duct joints remain tight and that backdraft dampers (if used) operate freely.
