To convert blower exhaust direction, remove four

size, or a combination of both.
PVC duct should be used if installing under a poured
concrete slab.
NOTE: Local building code must be followed in
specifying approved type and schedule of ALL
duct used.
Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with
damper. Laundry-type wall caps should NEVER
be used.
Install ductwork, making male-female connections
in the direction of airflow as shown. Secure all joints
with sheet metal screws and duct tape to assure an
airtight seal.
Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible.
For satisfactory performance, the duct run should
not exceed 100 feet equivalent length. Refer to the
“DUCTWORK CALCULATIONS” chart for equivalent
lengths. Use this chart to calculate the total
equivalent length of the ductwork.
