Calculate Vent System Length

The recommended vent system length is 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 cm x

25 cm) vent with maximum length of 26 ft (8 m) for vent system. For the best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.

To calculate the length of the system, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each of the vent pieces used in the system.
