If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the cross section
area of the ductwork
must be
increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added.
IMPORTAN
T: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased
to an extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional heating, venting, and air
conditioning (HVAC) firm
should be
consulted for proper venting information.
VERTICAL VENTING
When vertical single 10-inch venting is used, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside outlet
cannot
exceed 60
feet (refer to
Illus. B
below
). This calculation compensates for the use of a maximum of three (3) elbows
including the two (2) elbows creating the 180° (turned downward) outside outlet.
