Advance Planning
DUCT FITTINGS
Use this chart to compute
maximum permissible lengths for
duct runs to outdoors.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum
permissible equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
100 foot for range hoods.
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is used,
all the equivalent feet values
in the table should be doubled.
The flexible metal duct should
be straight and smooth and
extended as much as possible.
DO NOT use flexible plastic
ducting.
NOTE: Any home ventilation
system, such as a ventilation
hood, may interrupt the proper
flow of combustion air and
exhaust required by fireplaces,
gas furnaces, gas water heaters
and other naturally vented
systems. To minimize the chance
of interruption of such naturally
vented systems, follow the heating
equipment manufacturer's
guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by NFPA
and ASHRAE.
