To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn to the chart. 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. Use the fewest 90° turns possible. Do not use vent runs longer than specified in vent length chart. Determine the number of elbows you will need. Because Whirlpool Corporation policy includes a continuous commitment to improve Dimensions are for planning purposes only.
