RIGID METAL TRANSITION
DUCT
* For best dxying perfk_rmance,
a rigid metal
transition

* Rigid metal
transitions
ducts reduce
the risk of crush-
ing and
kinking.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION
DUCT
* If rigid metal
duct cannot
be used, then
Ul,-listed

recommended
(see illustra-
tions below).
Elbows
allow the d_yer to sit close to the
wall without
kinking
and or crushing
the transition
duct, maximizing
d,ying
perf_rmance.
* Avoid resting
the duct on sharp
objects.

where rigid metal or
flexible metal (semi-rigid)
ducfing cannot be used AND
where a 4" diameter

throughout
the
entire length of the transition
dt_ct.
