If the existing vent is round, a rectangular to round transition piece must
be used. In addition, a rectangular 3" (7.6 cm) extension vent between
the damper assembly and rectangular to round transition piece must be
installed to keep the damper from sticking.

B. 1 wall cap = 40 ft (12.2 m)
C. 1 rectangular to round transition piece = 5 ft (1.5 m)

" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) round vent
should be used.
The total length of the vent system including straight vent, elbow(s),
transitions and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 ft
(42.7 m) for either type of vent. See “Recommended Standard Fittings”
section for equivalent lengths.
For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent
lengths of each vent piece used in the system. See the following
examples:
