The “Vent System Charts” provides venting requirements that
will help achieve best drying performance.
Special provisions for mobile home
installations:
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
■ Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■ Use as few 90° turns as possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed
for best drying performance:
■ Use following “Vent System Charts” to determine type of vent
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied
in “Vent System Charts.” Exhaust systems longer than those
specied will:
■ Shorten life of dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best
for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Over-The-Top installation (also available with one offset elbow)
