Installation Clearances

For the most efficient and quiet operation:

Use no more than three 90° elbows.

Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.

Do not install 2 elbows together.

Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.

The vent system must have a damper.

Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize

 

 

 

backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to

 

 

 

 

 

D

minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent

 

 

system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal

 

 

 

 

 

 

break.

 

 

 

The break should be as close as possible to where the vent

 

 

 

 

 

 

system enters the heated portion of the house.

 

 

Makeup Air

 

 

 

 

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems

 

 

when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air

 

 

movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.

Venting Requirements

Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.

Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed

area.

Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.

Use a 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent. Rigid

metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not

recommended.

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) for vent system.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates both back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
