Vent-A-Hood JPH242/C1 SS Designer Pyramid Wall Mount Hood with Magic Lung Blower 42-Inch Wide in Stainless Steel
The Vent-A-Hood JPH242/C1 SS Designer Pyramid 42-inch wall-mounted range hood combines a stainless steel architectural silhouette with a 600 CFM Magic Lung B200 dual blower and a 900 Equivalent CFM comparison rating1. Magic Lung uses centrifugal filtration to separate 99% of grease without mesh or baffle filters, while the high-speed sound rating is 6.5 sones, approximately 57 dB. SensaSource heat sensing automatically raises blower speed as temperatures climb, and three dimmable 2700K warm-white LEDs provide task or ambient light.
The large open canopy supports effective kitchen ventilation by capturing smoke, heat, odors and cooking vapors at the source. Dishwasher-safe E-Z Clean components simplify routine care, and matching wall-mount duct covers are sold separately.
Key Features
Crisp Designer Pyramid Silhouette
The Vent-A-Hood JPH242/C1 SS turns a functional ventilation appliance into an architectural focal point. Its clean pyramid profile and stainless steel finish create a timeless statement on the wall above a cooktop.
Magic Lung Centrifugal Filtration
Rather than pushing air through restrictive mesh or baffle filters, Magic Lung draws cooking vapors into an open canopy and uses centrifugal force to spin grease out of the airflow. The system separates 99% of grease while also removing smoke, heat and odors generated during cooking.
600 CFM Airflow and 6.5-Sone Sound Rating
The B200 dual blower delivers 600 CFM at 0.0 in static pressure for powerful wall-mounted ventilation. At high speed, the hood is rated at 6.5 sones, approximately 57 dB, while the filter-free airflow path helps keep operating noise lower than conventional filter-based systems.
Filter-Free E-Z Clean Maintenance
There are no mesh or baffle filters to scrub or replace. The E-Z Clean grease collection tray, snap-apart blower housing and blower wheels can all be removed and placed in the dishwasher, streamlining regular cleanup.
SensaSource Automatic Heat Response
SensaSource monitors cooking temperatures and increases blower speed when heat rises. This automatic response maintains ventilation performance during hotter cooking without requiring a manual adjustment.
Three Dimmable 2700K LEDs
Three warm-white LED lights illuminate the cooking surface, while dual-level dimming lets you shift between brighter task lighting and softer light for entertaining or everyday ambiance.
Grease Control Before the Ductwork
Magic Lung separates grease from the air before it travels into the duct system. Limiting grease buildup in the ductwork helps reduce the potential for flame spread while supporting cleaner ventilation.
Wall-Mount Installation Planning
For optimum capture performance, the hood bottom should be installed no more than 30 in above the cooking surface. The 600 CFM B200 configuration requires an 8 in round duct and must vent outdoors through smooth galvanized metal ductwork; matching wall-mount duct covers are available separately for a finished ceiling transition.

Footnotes:
1 CFM measures ventilation power. Vent-A-Hood advises using Equivalent CFM for comparisons because Magic Lung moves air more efficiently than other brands.
2 Covered outdoor installation requires a GFCI-protected branch circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Magic Lung centrifugal filtration separates 99% of grease from the airflow without conventional mesh or baffle filters. There are no filters to scrub or replace, and the E-Z Clean grease tray, snap-apart blower housing and blower wheels are removable and dishwasher-safe.
-
The dual blower provides 600 CFM and is rated at 900 Equivalent CFM. Vent-A-Hood recommends using Equivalent CFM when comparing ventilation power because Magic Lung moves air more efficiently than conventional systems.
-
For optimum ventilation performance, the bottom of the hood should be mounted no more than 30 in above the cooking surface. Installing it higher than the recommended height may compromise capture performance.
-
The 600 CFM dual-blower configuration requires a minimum 8 in round duct with 50 sq. in. of duct area. Use smooth galvanized metal ductwork, do not reduce the duct size and vent the ducted fan outdoors rather than into an attic or chimney.
-
The high-speed sound rating is 6.5 sones, or approximately 57 dB. Magic Lung technology reduces airflow restriction by eliminating conventional mesh or baffle filters, helping deliver powerful ventilation with less operating noise than conventional filter-based systems.
