*Equivalent Duct Length

Static pressure in a typical duct run is caused by the type of duct material, elbows, exterior or wall cap, etc. The table below shows the standard values for duct components. The chart allows you to calculate the equivalent straight duct length in order to overcome static pressure caused by each component in a duct run.

  Duct Diameter
4" 6"
Duct Material Smooth Metal Same as measured duct length
Flex Aluminum 1.25 x duct length 1.5 x duct length
Insulated Flex 1.5 x duct length 2.0 x duct length
Terminal Device Wall Cap 30 feet 40 feet
Roof Cap 30 feet 40 feet
Elbow Adjustable 15 feet 20 feet
