• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the
exhaust system, especially at turns. Inspect and clean
at least once per year.
• Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with
a kitchen exhaust. A combination
of lint and grease
could create a fire hazard.
• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

Exhaust Length
The MAXIMUM AIA_€)'v\LMH_Elength of the exhaust
system depends
upon the type of duct, number
of turns,
type of exhaust hood (wall cap) and all conditions
noted
below. The maximum
allowable length fin both rigid and
fexible
metal duct is shown in the table below. More that

Wall caps must be installed
at least 300 mm(12")
above ground
level or any other obstruction
with the
opening
pointed

If root vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be
equivalent to a 100 mm (4") dampered
wall cap in regard
to resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and
maintenance
required to prevent clogging.
Separation of Turns
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 1.2 m
(4') of straight duct, including
distance
between last turn
and dampered
wall cap.
Turns Other Than 90 °
• One turn of 45 ° or less may be ignored.
• Two 45 ° turns should be treated as ()tie 90 °.
• Each turn over 45 ° should be treated
as one 90 °.
Sealing of Joints
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end
of each section of duct must point mvay fiom the dtTer,
• Do not assemble
the duct work with tasteners
that
extend into the duct, They will serve as a collection
point lot lint.
• Duct joints can be made air- and moisture-tight
by
wrapping
the overlapped
joints with duct tape.
