Maximum Vent Length Configurations (For Flex
Vent 2 in. Conversion Kit)
Maximum Vent Length Example:
Actual Vent Length = 13 ft (3.9 m) (with DIP
switch set at “Short length” condition)
Actual Vent Length = 25 ft (7.5 m) (with DIP
switch set at “Long length” condition)
[Vent length Calculation example]
Step 1:
Vent Diameter
2 in.
Step 2:
Straight pipe length
(Vertical length + Horizontal length)
17 ft
Step 3:
Number of elbows
90° elbows: 2
45° elbows: 2
Step 4:
Calculate equivalent length
90° elbows: 2 × 5 ft = 10 ft
45° elbows: 2 × 3 ft = 6 ft
Step 5:
Total vent length
(Add Step 2 and Step 4 together)
17 ft + 16 ft = 33 ft
Step 6:
Check [DIP Switch Adjustment] and select DIP
switch settings.
②[33 ft or more using 2 in. (50 mm) pipe]
(i.e., turn ON DIP switch #7)
Maximum Vent Length Configurations (For flexible
pipe for chimney)
[DuraVent® - Flex Through Chimney w/ Air Intake
(Only 3 in.)]
The vent length condition setting depends on
the flexible pipe length, the rigid pipe length and
number of elbows. Calculate an each ventilation
system equivalent length, then adjust the DIP
switch.

Equivalent vent length calculation example:
[Example 1]
- Vent Size: 3 in.
- V (Vertical length): 20 ft
- H (Horizontal length): 6 ft
- 90° elbow: 2
1 ft × 20 + 1 ft × 6 + 5 ft × 2 = 36 ft
