DETERMINE VENTING SIZE AND DISTANCE:

It is recommended that the vent system be installed with a minimum of three (3’) of vertical rise above the appliance exhaust port.

Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) is the method of determining vent sizes and lengths, that takes into account the effect of different component parts on air flow.

STEP 1 To help you determine the correct size and/or run, simply fill in the chart below.

Pellet Venting	# of Elbows	Multiply by	Equivalent	Component
Component	OR feet of Pipe		Feet	Equivalent
