5" round duct may be used on SHORT DUCT runs of
3 feet or less, such as direct to outside wall venting.
To convert blower exhaust direction, remove four

PVC duct should be used if installing under a poured
concrete slab.
NOTE:
Local building code must be followed in
specifying approved type and schedule of ALL
duct used.
Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with
damper. Laundry-type wall caps should NEVER
be used.
Install ductwork, making male-female connections
in the direction of airflow as shown. Secure all joints
with sheet metal screws and duct tape to assure an
airtight seal.
Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible.
For satisfactory performance the duct run should
not exceed 100 feet equivalent length. Refer to
DUCTWORK CALCULATIONS for equivalent lengths.
Use this chart to calculate the total equivalent
length of the ductwork.
