12 with our duct kit, cellarpro 1800 cooling units can be ducted up to 50 equivalent feet per duct. When calculating equivalent feet, each 90 degree turn in the ducting approximately equals 8’ of ducting. Be sure to use gradual turns to avoid restricting airflow inside the ducting. Consult your hvac...
