Example: Calculating the effective duct length and required internal duct diameter
Rigid pipe |

A | Wall duct with | 12’ 5" | 3.8 m |
| louvered wall vent |

B | 90° bend | 2’ 7" | 0.8 m |

The total duct length is less than 33 feet (10 m), so a duct diameter of 4" (100 mm) with adapter is sufficient.
