USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE
EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

duct and replace with UL listed transition duct.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE duct length and number of
bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of
duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap),
and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct length
for rigid metal duct is shown in the table below.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of
birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the
H[KDXVWDLUÀRZDQGVKRXOGUHTXLUHOLWWOHRUQRPDLQWHQDQFH
to prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This could
cause lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground
level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed
down.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft.
of straight duct, including distance between last turn and
exhaust hood.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90º
• One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.
• Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.
• Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.
• For every extra 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent system
length by 10 ft.
• Two 45° elbows will be treated like one 90° elbow.
• For the side exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the
chart.
• The total vent system length includes all the straight portions
and elbows of the system (transition duct included).
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE THE
COVER OFF OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK.
