Notes:
1. Total equivalent length cannot exceed maximum equivalent length shown in Table 8.
2. Use elbow equivalent lengths provided in Table 9.
3. Combustion air and vent terminations do not count towards total equivalent length.
4. Pressure drop for flexible polypropylene liner is 20% greater than for rigid pipe. Multiply measured flexible polypropylene liner
length by 1.2 to obtain equivalent length.
Example
Measured length = 35 ft.
Equivalent length =35 ft. x 1.2 = 42 ft.
5. Maximum equivalent length of flexible polypropylene liner is 48 ft. (14.6 m).
