See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type
forths maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
•
Shorten the life of the dryer.
•
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
3.
Determine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the
Vent Length Chart.
In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid
metal or flexible metal), find the maximum length of metal vent on
the same line as the number of elbows.
