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.
Use 31/4 '' x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) or 7" (17.8 cm) round vent with a
maximum length of 65 feet (19.8 m) for vent system. For best
performance, use no more than three 90 ° elbows. To calculate the
length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each vent
piece used in the system. See the examples below.
