Recommended standard fittings

If the existing vent is round, a rectangular-

to-round adapter must be used and a

rectangular 3" (7.6 cm) extension vent

between the damper assembly and the

adapter must be installed to prevent sticking

of the exhaust damper.

Recommended vent length

Use 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm)

round vent. The total length of the vent system including

straight vent, elbow(s), transitions, wall or roof caps must not

exceed the equivalent of 140 feet (42.7 m) of 3-1/4" x 10"

(8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) 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.

NOTE:

There must be at least one 2" x 4"

(50.8 cm x 101.6 cm) wall stud and

minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) thickness

drywall or plaster/lath within cabinet

opening. Must be able to support

150 lbs. (68 kg).

* 30" (76.2 cm) is typical for

66" (167.6 cm) installation height.

CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS

For wall or roof venting methods:

If the wall exhaust method is chosen, be sure that

there is proper clearance within the wall for the

damper to fully open.

Wall and roof caps must have back-draft damper.

We recommend:

✔

using rigid metal vent.

✔

that length of vent and number of elbows should

be kept to a minimum to provide efficient

performance.

✔

that size of vent should be uniform.

✔

using duct tape to seal all joints in the vent

system.

✔

using caulking compound to seal exterior wall or

roof opening around cap.

✔

two elbows should not be installed together.

We do NOT recommend:

✔

flexible metal vent.

NOTE:

If flexible metal vent must be used, calculate

each foot of flexible metal vent as two feet of rigid

metal vent. Flexible metal elbows count twice as

much as standard elbows.
