Calculating Vent System Length
IMPORTANT: This range is rated at 60 ft (18.3 m) of 6" (15.2 cm)
or 30 ft (9.15 m) of 5" (12.7 cm) straight duct. To calculate the length
of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent
piece used in the system.

NOTE: For external venting, flexible vent is not recommended.
Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that
greatly reduce performance.
