Coyote Medium Flue (for ceilings 8'6" - 9'8" in height)

Coyote Medium Flue (for ceilings 8′6″ – 9′8″) Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Coyote Medium Flue?

The Coyote Medium Flue is a stainless steel extension designed to bridge the space between an outdoor hood and ceiling heights ranging from 8 feet 6 inches up to 9 feet 8 inches. It ensures a clean, enclosed ventilation path and aesthetic finish for mid-height ceiling installations.

Why choose the medium flue instead of a high or low version?

If your ceiling is between 8′6″ and 9′8″, this flue matches that span precisely. It avoids using a longer (high) flue which would leave excess vertical extension visible, and a shorter flue that would fall short and leave a gap. It maintains both functional airflow and visual continuity.

What materials and dimensions are typical?

The flue is built from **304 stainless steel**, matching Coyote’s outdoor hood materials. Its cross-section aligns with the hood’s output (e.g. ~14″ × 14″ or applicable collar size), and the vertical extension is sized to suit the 8′6″ to 9′8″ ceiling range. Exact lengths depend on model specification.

Is the hood included?

No — the flue is sold separately as an accessory. The ventilation hood and main ducting must be purchased or already installed. The flue extension is meant to connect between the hood and the ceiling transition.

How should I install the medium flue?

Install it between the hood canopy and your ceiling duct. Make sure the flue is plumb and centered, use stainless steel fasteners, seal joints carefully, and ensure proper alignment with existing ductwork. If the vertical run is long, provide independent support so the hood doesn’t carry the weight. Also confirm compliance with local ventilation and fire codes.

What maintenance or care should I do?

Regularly clean the stainless surfaces using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to prevent buildup. Inspect seams, joints, and fasteners annually to ensure there is no loosening or corrosion. Verify duct connections, and check that no sagging or warping has occurred. In windy or changeable environments, check stability and integrity periodically.
