STEP 2: PREPARE THE VENTING SYSTEM
STANDARD FITTINGS
NOTE: If the existing duct is round, you must use a
DUCT LENGTH
The total length of the duct system, including straight duct, elbows, transitions, and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet.
For best performance, do not use more than three 90 degree elbows, and keep length as short as possible.
Below are the standard fittings and their equivalent length in feet.
