Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
Vent Piece | Equivalent Length |
45° elbow | 2.5 ft |
| (0.8 m) |
|
|
90° elbow | 5.0 ft |
| (1.5 m) |
The maximum equivalent vent lengths are:
10" (25.4 cm) round vents - 60 ft (18.3 m)

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length.
1 | - 90° elbow | = 5.0 ft (1.5 m) |
1 | - wall cap | = 0.0 ft (0.0 m) |
8 ft (2.4 m) straight | = 8.0 ft (2.4 m) | |
|
