PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Clearance requirements
Installation in a recess or
closet
1. A dryer installed in a recess or closet,
MUST be exhausted outdoors.
2. No other fuel burning appliance shall
be installed in the same recess or closet
as a gas dryer.
3. Your dryer needs space around it for
proper ventilation. See “Clearance
Requirements” chart.
4. A minimum of 120 square inches of inlet
ventilation opening to the recess or
closet is required for proper air flow to
the dryer.
5. Inlet air ventilation to the recess or
closet can be satisfied by adding 120
square inches of opening, equally
divided at the top and bottom of the
door and located 3 inches from the
bottom and top of the door.
or, adding 120 square inches of
ventilation openings to the top, sides
or rear wall of the closet wall, if the wall
is adjacent to an open room, hallway,
or exterior.
or, a louvered door with equivalent
air openings equaling 120 sq. inches
of ventilation for the full length of the
door is acceptable.
It is NOT approved to derive the 120
sq. inches of ventilation from the space
between the door edges and the
casing or the floor.
** The presence of forced heating and
air-conditioning vent openings in the
closet does NOT satisfy the 120 square
inch ventilation requirement to the
closet.
F
or other than straight back venting, a quick-
turn 90° dryer vent elbow must be installed to
achieve 0” (0 cm) installation.
