Venting Duct Information
Plan the Ductwork
1
.  This downdraft blower system is designed for use with 3-1/4" 
x 10" ductwork (can be transitioned to 6" round). Two different 
discharge directions are available with side-to-side adjustment 
for the accurate alignment of ductwork.
2.  For best performance: choose the ducting option which allows 
the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of 
elbows and transitions. Check location of floor joists, wall 
joists, wall studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible 
interference.
Steps to Determine Flexible Ducting’s Equivalent Length
1
.  Measure the actual amount of offset (Maximum 3" recom-
mended). The effect upon airflow is dependent upon the 
amount of offset.
2.  Calculate the equivalent ducting allowances using: 
(__in. offset) x (14 Ft. per inch) 
=__Ft. equivalent length.
3.  Ensure that the total equivalent length of ducting does not 
exceed the maximum recommendation of 100 feet.
