* Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual

tests and reflect requirements for good venting

performance with any downdraft cooktop.

† Measure and list feet of straight duct used. Count and

list the quantity of all other duct pieces for the “Number

Used” of each type.

IMPORTANT:
For maximum efficiency, use the shortest and straightest

duct run possible, with as few fittings as possible.

For satisfactory performance, the duct run should not

exceed 100 feet equivalent length.
Venting performance is improved by using larger

diameter duct.
