Mobile Home Exhaust installation
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 Chart 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 Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specied will:
Shorten life of dryer. ■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times ■
and increased energy usage.
