Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests

and reflect requirements for good venting performance with

any vent hood.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition

adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper

will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order

to allow free movement of the damper.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total

Outside ventilation requires a EXTERNAL EXHAUST

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
a standard 3

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6” (15.2 cm) diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of

exceed120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,

etc.,

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.
