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