TOOLS AND MATERIALS YOU WILL
NEED TO INSTALL EXHAUST DUCT
CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE
VENT
RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT
• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition
duct is recommended.
• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of
crushing and kinking.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL CLOTHES DRYER
TRANSITION DUCT
• If rigid metal cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible
metal clothes dryer transition duct (Haier Appliances
part – PM08X10085) can be used.
• Never install transition duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of transition duct should not exceed 8’
(2.4 m).
• For many applications, installing elbows at both
the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see
illustrations in next section). 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 home exhaust vent using
flexible metal (foil-type) transition duct. UL–LISTED
universal flexible dryer transition duct (Haier
Appliances parts – PM8X73 or WX8X73) may be
used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or
flexible metal transition 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 transition
ducts that comply with “UL 2158A STANDARD FOR
CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT” shall be
used.
• 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.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the
other clamp.
