flexible metal ductwork is equivalent to two feet (617 mm) of straight metal ductwork when calculating the duct run
length.
For best results the size of the ductwork should be uniform and use no more than three 90° elbows. Make sure that
there is a minimum of 24” (607 mm) of straight duct between elbows if more than one is used. Round duct is
recommended instead of rectangular duct especially if elbows are needed. Rectangular duct should be transitioned to
minimum 6” (152 mm) round for internal blowers and 10” (254 mm) round for remote blowers as soon as possible.
