INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3 1 ⁄ " x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or
4
5" (12. 7 cm) diameter/ 6
should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
Outside ventilation requires an EXTERNAL EXHAUST
DUCT.Read the following carefully.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate with

present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer
than their actual physical size. When calculating the total
duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions
and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The chart below shows you how to calculate total
equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet
of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
