Plan Vent System
Choose your exhaust installation type
Recommended exhaust installation:
Special provisions for mobile homes:
Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of mobile home and must not terminate beneath the
mobile home. Terminate 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 the “Vent System Charts” on the next page 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.
