Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
