If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the cross section
area of the duct work
must be
increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added.
IMPORTAN
T: For extended duct work runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased
to an extent. For extended duct work runs, a professional HVAC firm
should be
consulted for proper venting information.

ENTING
When vertical single 10-inch (25 cm) venting is used (refer to
Illus. B
below
), the duct work from the dryer to
the outside outlet
cannot
exceed 40 feet (12 meters) (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.
