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	6" (15.2 cm) Round
45° elbow	2.5 ft
	(0.8 m)

90° elbow	5.0 ft
	(1.5 m)

Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).

Example vent system

90 elbow		Wall cap
	6 ft (1.8 m)

2ft

(0.6 m)

The following example falls within the maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

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)
Length of system		= 13.0 ft (3.9 m)

■ Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range

hood is properly grounded.

■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

■ The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.

■ The range hood should be connected directly to the fused

disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or

nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this hood be provided.

■ Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform

with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/

serial rating plate. The model/serial plate is located behind

the filter on the rear wall of the hood.

■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA

Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and

C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and

ordinances.

■ A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) UL listed or CSA approved strain relief must

be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the

range hood and at the junction box).
