For satisfactory air movement, the total duct
length of 3
1⁄4
” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or
6” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not ex-
ceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).
4.1.5 Elbows, transitions, wall
and roof caps, etc.,
Present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct which is
longer than their actual physical size. When cal-
culating the total duct length, add the equivalent
lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the
length of all straight duct sections. The chart be-
low shows you how to calculate total equivalent
ductwork length using the approximate feet of
equivalent length of some typical ducts.
