Maximum length of ductwork
system
For best performance, use no more than
three 90” elbows. If more than one elbow is
used, make sure that there is a minimum of
24 inches of straight duct between any two
elbows. Do Not install two elbows
together. It is recommended that you use
round duct instead of rectangular duct,
especially if elbows are required. If
rectangular duct is required, it should be
transitioned to 9” round duct as soon as
possible.
Determining the length of system
you need:
To calculate the length of system you need,
add the equivalent feet for each duct piece
that will be needed. See example for 9”
round ductwork system.
