Viking Wall Mounted Range Hoods

Viking Wall-Mounted Range Hoods at Plesser's Appliances

Viking wall-mounted range hoods, available at Plesser's Appliances, mount against the wall above the range in a canopy form that replaces the upper cabinet — the most effective ventilation configuration and the right pairing for a professional range.

The Most Effective Configuration
A wall hood captures rising heat, steam, and grease directly above the source, with the wall itself helping contain airflow rather than working against it. That makes wall mounting the most efficient configuration for a given capacity, with no fighting physics as with downdraft and no open-room cross-drafts as with an island.

Sizing to a Professional Range
Viking's burners produce output well above standard residential, and hood capacity has to be matched to it rather than to hood width. Hood width should meet or exceed the cooking surface so capture extends past the outer burners. Ask about recommended capacity for your specific range and series rather than working from dimensions alone.

Styling and Color Matched to the Range
Wall hoods are offered in widths, finishes, and colors that coordinate with Viking ranges and rangetops, so the cooking wall reads as one specified installation. On a colored range, a matching hood is what completes the composition. Order both together to keep finish and lead times aligned.

Filtration, Lighting, and Blowers
Stainless baffle filters handle capture and are dishwasher-safe on most models, with lighting and multiple fan speeds. Blowers may be internal, in-line, or exterior-mounted, and moving the blower away from the hood is the most effective way to reduce kitchen noise on a high-capacity installation. Confirm what is included versus separately ordered.

Duct Routing, Height, and Code Planning
Duct diameter, run length, and elbow count all reduce delivered capacity, so design for the shortest straightest route out. Mounting height above the cooking surface, clearance, and on high-capacity installations make-up air requirements need settling with your builder before framing.
