TO
HOUSE
VENT
RIGID
METAL
TRANSITION
DUCT
¢
For
best
drying
performance,
a
rigid
metal
transition
duct
is
recommended.
«
Rigid
metal
transitions
ducts
reduce
the
risk
of
crushing
and
kinking.
UL-LISTED
FLEXIBLE
METAL
(SEMI-RIGID
TRANSITION
DUCT
¢ If
rigid
metal
duct
cannot
be
used,
then
UL-listed
flexible
metal
(semi-rigid)
ducting
can
be
used
(Kit
WX08X10077).
¢
Never
install
flexible
metal
duct
in
walls,
ceilings,
floors
or
other
enclosed
spaces.
*
Total
length
of
flexible
metal
duct
should
not
exceed
8
feet
(2.4m.
¢
For
many
applications,
installing
elbows
at
both
the
dryer
and
the
wall
is
highly
recommended
(see
illustrations
below).
Elbows
allow
the
dryer
to
sit
close
to
the
wall
without
kinking
and
or
crushing
the
transition
duct,
maximizing
drying
performance.
¢
Avoid
resting
the
duct
on
sharp
objects.
UL-LISTED
FLEXIBLE
METAL
(FOIL-TYPE)
TRANSITION
DUCT
¢
In
special
installations,
it
may
be
necessary
to
connect
the
dryer
to
the
house
vent
using
a
flexible
metal
(foiltype)
duct.
A
UL-listed
flexible
metal
(foil-type]
duct
may
be
used
ONLY
in
installations
where
rigid
metal
or
flexible
metal
(semi-rigid)
ducting
cannot
be
used
AND
where
a
4”
diameter
can
be
maintained
throughout
the
entire
length
of
the
transition
duct.
«
In
Canada
and
the
United
States,
only
the
flexible
metal
(foil-
type)
ducts
that
comply
with
the
“Outline
for
Clothes
Dryer
Transition
Duct
Subject
2158A”
shall
be
used.
¢
Never
install
flexible
metal
duct
in
walls,
ceilings,
floors
or
other
enclosed
spaces.
*
Total
length
of
flexible
metal
duct
should
not
exceed
8
feet
(2.4m.
¢
Avoid
resting
the
duct
on
sharp
objects.
¢
For
best
drying
performance:
1.
Slide
one
end
of
the
duct
over
the
clothes
dryer
outlet
pipe.
2.
Secure
the
duct
with
a
clamp.
3.
With
the
dryer
in
its
permanent
position,
extend
the
duct
to
its
full
length.
Allow
2”
of
duct
to
overlap
the
exhaust
pipe.
Cut
off
and
remove
excess
duct.
Keep
the
duct
as
straight
as
possible
for
maximum
airflow.
