DUCTWORK LENGTH AND DUCT FITTINGS
NOTE: Do not exceed 150 foot maximum permissible equivalent lengths!
Flexible ducting: If flexible metal ducting is used, all 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.
Add equivalent lengths for all duct pieces and transitions used to ensure that the duct run does not
exceed the maximum 150 feet.

Venting Duct Information
Plan the Ductwork
1. This downdraft blower system is designed for use with 3-1/4" x 10"
ductwork (can be transitioned to 6" round). Two different discharge
directions are available with side-to-side adjustment for the accurate
alignment of ductwork.
2. For best performance: choose the ducting option which allows the shortest
length of ductwork and a minimum number of elbows and transitions.
Check location of floor joists, wall joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or
plumbing for possible interference.
