hiCustomermost manufacturers recommend 10-15 feet ,total run,with every 90deg elbow counting as 3 ft and back to back elbows counting as 9 feet as the optimum vent distance.

it is however rarely like that,so the longer the run than normal the more time you can expect on drying times

 

thx Randy

questions, let me know
