VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Roof venting
Wall venting
roof cap
Recommended vent length
Use 3-1/4" x 10" or 6" vent. The total length of the vent system
including straight vent, elbow, transitions, wall or roof caps
must not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet of
wall cap
3-1/4" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round vent. For best
performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate
the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for
each vent piece used in the system. See examples below.

For wall or roof venting methods:

3-1/4" x 10"
90° elbow
If the wall exhaust method is chosen, be sure that
there is proper clearance within the wall so the vent
fits properly and the damper blade opens fully.

Wall and roof caps must have back-draft damper.

If the existing vent is round, a rectangular-
to-round adapter must be used and a
rectangular 3" extension vent between the
damper assembly and the adapter must be
installed to prevent sticking of the exhaust
damper.
We do NOT recommend:
✔ flexible metal vent.

NOTE: If flexible metal vent must be used, calculate

metal vent. Flexible metal elbows count twice as
much as standard elbows.
