For closet installation with a door, minimum
ventilation openings in the top and bottom of
the door are required. Louvered doors with
equivalent air openings are acceptable.
1. 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than specified in the Vent Length Chart.
In the column listing the type of metal vent you are using (rigid metal or flexible
metal), find the maximum length of metal vent on the same line as the number of
elbows.
