Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the
equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
Vent Piece
Equivalent
Length
45 ° elbow
2.5 ft
(0.8 m)
90 ° elbow
5.0 ft
(1.5 m)
The maximum equivalent vent lengths are:
10" (25.4 cm) round vents - 60 ft (18.3 m)

The following example
falls within the maximum
recommended
vent length.
1 - 90 ° elbow
