How to calculate the effective duct length

The overall duct length will determine the duct diameter.

^Measure the actual duct length needed to go from the dryer’s exhaust connection to the vent outlet:

1.Establish the number of elbows or bends necessary, noting the type of bend, angle and radius involved (see Table).

2.Add the additional duct length (as derived by using the values specified in the table) to the actual duct length to get the effective length.

Note:

Maximum effective duct lengths:

4" (100 mm) diameter

66 ft (20 m)

5" (125 mm) diameter

132 ft (40 m)

6" (150 mm) diameter

328 ft (100 m)

Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m) require a larger duct diameter.

Longer ducts may lead to slight decreases in dryer efficiency if the necessary duct diameter is not employed.

Tips about the ductwork

–Check with your local building code to determine the maximum allowable duct length.

–Use flexible metal pipe or rigid metal pipe for venting. Non-metallic flexible hose should not be used since it is a potential fire hazard.

–For best drying results avoid extra long ducting with too many bends, angles or tight corners.

–The shorter the exhaust ductwork, the more efficient the dryer will be. Expelled air is slowed down in the ducts due to friction against the inner walls. The shorter and smoother the inner walls are, the less friction will be created.

–An elbow or bend creates more friction than a straight duct. An additional duct length factor must be added for each elbow or bend (see Table). This factor expresses the resistance of the bend in terms of a straight length of duct.

The additional length factor is then added to the existing duct to give the effective duct length.

A larger duct diameter helps to reduce friction. Therefore the duct diameter and length should be increased simultaneously.
