Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Avoid making 90° turns.

When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend flexible metal vent gradually to avoid kinking.

Determine vent length

1.See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your type hood for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

Do not use vent runs longer than specified in exhaust vent length charts.

2.Determine the number of elbows you will need.

3.In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid or flexible), find the maximum length of metal vent on the same line as the number of elbows.

The maximum length using a 2" x 6" rectangular vent with 2 elbows and a 2-1/2" exhaust hood is 8 ft.
