VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Roof venting roof cap Wall venting 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
3-1/4" x 10" the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for
through-the-wall
each vent piece used in the system. See examples below.
