Use copies of this form to
compute maximum
permissible lengths for
duct runs to outdoors.
Note: Do not exceed maximum
permissible equivalent lengths!
Flexible dueting
If flexible metal ducting is
used, all the equivalent
length values in the table
should be doubled. The
flexible metal duct should
be straight and smooth
and extended as much as
possible.
Do NOT use flexible
plastic ducting.
Component Cooktop System
100’ maximum equivalent
length
CAUTION:
Any home ventilation system, such
as a cooktop with a downdraft
exhaust mechanism, may interrupt
the proper flow of combustion air
and exhaust required by fireplaces,
gas furnaces, gas water heaters
and other naturally vented
systems. To minimize thechance
of interruption of such naturally
vented systems, follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by NFPA
and ASHRAE.
