IMPORTANT: This range is rated at 60 ft (18.3 m) of 6"
(15.2 cm) or 30 ft (9.15 m) of 5" (12.7 cm) straight duct.
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the
equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

Venting between floor joists
Maximum length = 60 ft (18.3 m)
1- 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
1 - wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)
System length = 13 ft (3.9 m)
NOTE: For external venting, a flexible vent is not
recommended. Flexible vents create back pressure and air
turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
