Caple DDMEXT28 is a specialist external extraction motor made for Caple downdraft cooker hoods, designed to sit out of sight behind a kitchen plinth for a cleaner look and quieter kitchen operation. It has a robust aluminium die‑cast construction and is intended for use with 150 mm rigid ducting. This motor is for recirculation mode only, so it requires a compatible recirculation kit to filter and return air back into the room, and it cannot be used with Caple ceiling hoods.

In practical terms the DDMEXT28 lets you place the extraction motor discreetly under the unit or behind cabinetry, keeping noise and visual clutter out of the kitchen while still delivering solid ventilation performance when paired with a Caple downdraft hood. Its design focuses on durability and flexible installation behind the plinth, supporting efficient steam, smoke, and odour removal in recirculation setups.
