Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
7" (17.8 cm) Round Vent System
Vent Piece Round
45° elbow 2.5 ft
(0.8 m)
90° elbow 5.0 ft
(1.5 m)
7" (17.8 cm) wall cap 0.0 ft
(0.0 m)
Maximum Recommended Length = 50 ft (15.2 m)
1 - 90° elbow = 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
1 - wall cap = 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
Length of 7" (17.8 cm) system = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)
VENTING METHODS
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3¹⁄₄" x
10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft
(10.7 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length
of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates both
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
