Grounded 3 prong outlet VENTING REQUIREMENTS Roof venting roof cap 3-1/4" x 10" through-the-roof Recommended standard fittings Wall venting wall cap 3-1/4" x 10" through-the-wall 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 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: 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. 3-1/4" x 10" vent system 3-1/4" x 10" 90° elbow 6 ft. wall cap Wall and roof caps must have back-draft damper. 3-1/4" x 10" to 6" = 5 ft. 3-1/4" x 10" 3-1/4" x 10" roof cap = 24 ft. 90° elbow = 25 ft. 90° elbow 6" = 10 ft. 3-1/4" x 10" 45° elbow wall cap = 6" = 5 ft. 40 ft. 3-1/4" x 10" 90° flat elbow= 10 ft. 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. 2 ft. 6" vent system 90° elbows 1 - 3-1/4" x 10" 90° elbow 1 - wall cap 8 feet straight Length of 3-1/4" x 10" system = 25 ft. = 40 ft. = 8 ft. = 73 ft. 6 ft. wall cap If the existing vent is round, a rectangularto-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 each foot of flexible metal vent as two feet of rigid metal vent. Flexible metal elbows count twice as much as standard elbows. transition 2 ft. 1 - transition 2 - 90° elbows 1 - wall cap 8 feet straight = 5 ft. = 20 ft. = 40 ft. = 8 ft. Length of 6" system = 73 ft. Because Whirlpool Corporation policy includes a continuous commitment to improve Dimensions are for planning purposes only.
