TrueFlame 8" Spacer Bracket for TF-VH42-3 Vent Hood

Some outdoor kitchen walls are built out far enough that a vent hood cannot sit against them. This 8-inch spacer bracket is TrueFlame's deeper stand-off for the 42-inch TF-VH42-3 hood, a fixed-size stainless steel bracket made for that model alone and ordered separately from the hood itself.

Key Features

• Model-specific fitment - listed for the TrueFlame 42" outdoor vent hood, model TF-VH42-3. TrueFlame builds a separate bracket for every hood in the TF-VH range, so this one is not interchangeable with the others.
• 8" stand-off - a fixed depth, not an adjustable one. TrueFlame offers this bracket for the TF-VH42-3 in 8" and 4" only, and the figure in the name is the whole difference between them.
• #304 stainless steel - the same weather-resistant, easy-to-clean grade TrueFlame uses for the hood itself, so the bracket weathers at the same rate as the canopy sitting on it.
• Positions the canopy correctly - the bracket sets the hood, and any duct covers stacked above it, out from the mounting surface so the canopy still sits over the appliances below and captures rising smoke and heat.
• Sold separately - a spacer bracket is not packed with the hood. Neither are duct covers, fillers or wye fittings; each is ordered on its own.

Specifications

Model and Installation Information

The model to match is TF-VH42-3-SP8. Read the designation off your hood's rating label rather than going by width alone, because the TF-VH range has been revised and a bracket bought for an earlier or a different hood will not line up.

No island cutout is involved here. This is a wall-mounted part: the bracket goes between the hood and the wall or chase, so what you need to confirm is the depth your finish actually requires and that the structure behind it can carry a 42-inch canopy plus the bracket. TrueFlame does not publish canopy depth, height or duct dimensions in this listing, so take those, along with duct routing, clearances and the electrical supply at the hood position, from TrueFlame's installation manual and have the work done by a licensed professional.

Who This Model Is Best For

Order the 8-inch when the 42-inch canopy has to clear a genuinely deep face, such as stacked stone or a built-out chase. At this width the hood is already carrying a 2,000 CFM blower, so pushing it a further 8 inches off the wall makes the mounting structure behind it the thing to verify first. If your finish is only tile or thin veneer, the 4-inch bracket is the more sensible pick.
