VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Roof venting

Wall venting

Recommended vent length

 

 

 

 

 

 

wall cap

Use 3-1/4" x 10" or 6" vent. The total length of the vent system

 

 

including straight vent, elbow, transitions, wall or roof caps

 

 

 

 

 

 

must not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet of

 

 

 

3-1/4" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round vent. For best

 

 

 

performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate

 

 

3-1/4" x 10"

the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for

 

 

through-the-wall

each vent piece used in the system. See examples below.

If the wall exhaust method is chosen, be sure that

there is proper clearance within the wall so the vent

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fits properly and the damper blade opens fully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wall and roof caps must have back-draft damper.

If the existing vent is round, a rectangular- to-round adapter must be used and a rectangular 3" extension vent between the damper assembly and the adapter must be installed to prevent sticking of the exhaust damper.
