Maximum length of ductwork system

For best performance, use no more than three 90” elbows. If more than one elbow is used, make sure that there is a minimum of 24 inches of straight duct between any two elbows. Do Not install two elbows together. It is recommended that you use round duct instead of rectangular duct, especially if elbows are required. If rectangular duct is required, it should be transitioned to 9” round duct as soon as possible.

Determining the length of system you need:

To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each duct piece that will be needed. See example for 9” round ductwork system.
