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. When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns. 2. Determine vent length. The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon: • The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal). • The number of elbows used. • Type of hood. See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use. 3. Determine the number of elbows you will need. NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart. The chart at left helps you determine your maximum vent length based on the number of 90° turns or elbows you will need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood that you will use.
