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 ft. 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.

Total Duct Run

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.

* Actual length of straight duct plus duct fitting equivalent.

Equivalent length of duct pieces are based on actual tests
conducted by GE Evaluation Engineering and reflect
requirements for good venting performance with any
ventilation hood.

This Hood Must

Use 8" Round Duct.

It Can Transition to

3-1/4" x 12" Duct.
