Calculate Vent System Length
The recommended vent system is 6" (15.2 cm) round vent with a maximum length of 35 ft (10.7 m). 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.
