DETERMINE VENTING SIZE AND DISTANCE:
It is recommended that the vent system be installed with a minimum of three (3’) of vertical
rise above the appliance exhaust port.
Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) is the method of determining vent sizes and lengths, that takes into account the
effect of different component parts on air flow.
STEP 1 To help you determine the correct size and/or run, simply fill in the chart below.

Step 2
Ensure the Total Equivalent is or is
less than 30.
Step 3 Use the Sizing Chart to determine
the proper venting size according to
the Total Equivalent and the
Altitude above sea level.
NOTE: In some cases it may be necessary
to contact Dansons Customer
Service personal to determine
acceptable venting
