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.
Vent Piece Equivalent Length
45° elbow 2.5 ft
(0.8 m)
90° elbow 5.0 ft
(1.5 m)
The maximum equivalent vent lengths are:
10" (25.4 cm) round vents - 60 ft (18.3 m)
Example vent system
The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent
length.
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 system = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)
90 elbow 6 ft (1.8 m)
2 ft
(0.6 m)

● Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area.
● Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
● Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
● The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

IMPORTANT:
Minimum distance “X”: 24" (61 cm) from electric
cooking surfaces.
Minimum distance “X”: 30" (76.2 cm) from gas
cooking surfaces.
Suggested maximum distance “X”: 36" (91.4 cm).
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
● Use no more than three 90° elbows.
● Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
● Do not install 2 elbows together.
● Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
● Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
● The size of the vent should be uniform.
