Note: Flexible vent is Not
recommended.

If it is used, each foot of flexible vent
used is equivalent to two feet (61 cm)

of straight metal vent when

calculating the vent system length.

(Example: A flexible elbow equals two
standard elbows,)

= 35 ft, (10.7 m)
= 5 ft. (1.5 rn}

= 8 fl. (2.4 m)
= 0 fl, (0 m)

= 13 ft.(4m)
