DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE
EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.
Ducting longer than 150 equivalent feet will:

hazard.

upon the type of duct, number of turns and
the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all
conditions noted below, Both rigid and flexible
metal ducts are shown in the table.
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct
length should not exceed 150 equivalent feet.
