MATERIALS REQUIRED
(Obtain Locally)
GAS, ELECTRIC OR STEAM DRYING
TUMBLERS
• One fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
GAS DRYING TUMBLERS ONLY
• One gas shut-off valve for gas service line to each
tumbler.
STEAM DRYING TUMBLERS ONLY
• One steam shut-off valve for steam service line to be
connected upstream of solenoid steam valve.
• Two steam shut-off valves for each condensate return
line.
• Flexible steam hoses with a 125 psig (pounds per
square inch gauge) (8.79 kg/sq. cm) working pressure
for connecting steam coils. Refer to Figure 9 and Table 3.
• Two steam traps for steam coil outlet to condensate
return line.
• Two vacuum breakers for condensate return lines.
The tumbler may be removed from the skid before
moving it to the installation location or it may be moved
while still attached to the skid. To remove tumbler from
the skid, unscrew the four shipping capscrews (one at
each corner) and remove the tumbler from the skid. The
lint panel door will have to be removed in order to remove
the two front capscrews.
NOTE: Do not throw these four capscrews away —
they are the leveling legs.
Screw the four leveling legs back into the level adjusting
fittings from the top.
Slide the tumbler to its permanent location and level.
Keep the tumbler as close to the floor as possible. The
tumbler must rest firmly on the floor so weight of tumbler
is evenly distributed. Tumbler must not rock.
Each tumbler should be leveled within 1/8 inch (3.2 cm)
from front to rear, and 1/8 inch (3.2 cm) from side to side.
Check front to rear level by rotating the clothes cylinder
until one rib is at the bottom, then place a level on the rib.
Side to side level should be checked by placing a level on
the front and rear of the top panel.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block the airflow at the rear
of the tumbler with laundry or other articles. Doing
so would prevent adequate air supply to the
combustion chamber of the tumbler.
A typical tumbler enclosure is shown in Figure 2. Note
that the enclosure touches the tumbler top and side

panels. Also, note the minimum and maximum
dimensions. Be aware that there may be local codes and
ordinances which must be complied with.
IMPORTANT: Install tumblers with sufficient
clearance for servicing and operation. Refer to
Figure 2.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury, clearance of tumbler cabinet from combustible
construction must conform to the minimum clearances.
To assure compliance, consult local building code
requirements.
WARNING
A drying tumbler produces combustible
lint. To reduce the risk of fire, the tumbler
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
W057
FLOOR
The tumbler must be installed on a level floor capable of
supporting 100 pounds per square foot (488.3 kg/sq. m).
Floor covering materials such as carpeting or tile must be
removed.
LAYOUT
Whenever possible, tumblers should be installed along an
outside wall where duct length can be kept to a minimum,
and make-up air can be easily accessed. Construction
must not block the airflow at the top rear of the tumbler.
Doing so would prevent adequate air supply to the
tumbler’s combustion chamber.
VENTING
For maximum efficiency and minimum lint
accumulation, tumbler air must be exhausted to the
outdoors by the shortest possible route.
Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper
operation. All elbows should be sweep type. Exhaust
ducts must be assembled so the interior surfaces are
smooth, so the joints do not permit the accumulation of
lint. Do not use sheet metal screws to join vent sections.
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork causes excess
back pressure which results in slow drying, lint collecting
in the duct, lint blowing back into the room, and
increased fire hazard.
preferred to exhaust tumbler(s) individually to the
outdoors. At no point may the cross area of installed
venting be less than the cross area of the exhaust
thimble of the tumbler.
The maximum allowable length venting is 14 feet (4.3
m) and two 90° elbows or equivalent. If the equivalent
length of a duct required for an installation exceeds the
maximum allowable equivalent length, the diameter of
a round duct must be increased by 10% for each
additional 20 feet (6.1 m). Cross section area of a
rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for each
addtional 20 feet (6.1 m). To determine equivalent
venting, Refer to Tabl e 1 .
Equivalent Length (feet) = 1.7 x Duct Diameter
(inches)
Example: A 12" diameter duct’s equivalent
length of 14 feet of duct and two 90° elbows is:
Equivalent Length = 14 feet + (2) 90° elbows
With the tumbler in operation, airflow at any point in
the duct must be at least 1200 feet per minute (366 m./
min.) to insure that the lint remains airborne.
EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF
STRAIGHT DUCT
One 90° elbow = 7 feet (2.1 m)
One 90° elbow = 9.3 feet (2.83 m)
One 90° elbow = 11.6 feet (3.5 m)
One 90° elbow = 14 feet (4.3 m)
One 90° elbow = 16 feet (4.9 m)
One 90° elbow = 18.7 feet (5.7 m)
One 90° elbow = 21 feet (6.4 m)
Table 1
= 14 feet + 14 feet + 14 feet
= 42 feet (12.8 m)
Exhaust ducts shall be constructed of sheet metal or
other noncombustible material. Such ducts must be
equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to
ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than
0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, an opening having a diameter of 4 inches (10.2
cm) larger than the diameter of the exhaust duct shall be
provided, with the duct centered in the opening. When
ducts pass through walls, ceilings, floors or partitions, the
space around the duct shall be sealed with noncombustible material. Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5.
While it is preferable to exhaust tumblers individually
to the outdoors, a main collector duct may be used if it
is sized accordingly. Refer to Figure 5. This
illustration indicates minimum diameters, and should
be increased if the collector length exceeds 20 feet
(6.1 m). The collector duct may be rectangular in cross
section, as long as the area is not reduced. Provisions
should be made for lint removal and cleaning of the
collector duct.
The collector duct must be tapered. Refer to Figure 5.
The individual tumbler ducts must enter the collector
duct at a 45° angle in the direction of airflow. Never
connect a tumbler duct at a 90° angle to the collector
duct. Doing so will cause excessive back pressure,
resulting in poor performance. Never connect two
tumbler exhaust ducts directly across from each
other at the point of entry to the collector duct.
The collector system must be designed so the static
back pressure measured 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the
exhaust thimble does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker
on the rear of the tumbler. This must be measured with
all tumblers running that are vented into the collector.
At a minimum, the National Fuel Gas Code requires
tumblers to have at least one square inch (6.5 sq. cm)
of opening for every 1000 BTU/hr. of input rating for
proper combustion.
Example: A tumbler with a rated input of 120,000
BTU/hr. requires 120 square inches of free
opening.
The additional opening recomended by the
manufacturer is required for optimum drying and
reliability.
Protective louvers in the opening to the outdoors can
reduce air movement by approximately 40 percent. The
opening must compensate for the area taken up by the
louvers.
The make-up air openings for a room containing
tumbler(s) and/or gas fired hot water heater or other
gravity vented appliances must be increased sufficiently
to prevent downdrafts in any of the vents when all
tumblers are in operation. Do not locate gravity vented
appliances between tumbler(s) and make-up air
openings. If it is necessary to duct make-up air to the
tumbler(s), increase the area of the duct work by 25
percent to compensate for any restriction in air
movement.
MAKE-UP AIR
A tumbler is forced air exhausted and requires provisions
for make-up air to replace the air exhausted by the
tumbler.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
Recommended make-up air opening to the outside is
144 inches
Solvent gases and vapors from dry
cleaning machines create acids when
drawn through the heater of a drying
tumbler. These acids are corrosive to the
drying tumbler as well as to the laundry
load being dried. Be sure make-up air is
free of solvent gases and vapors.
If the dry cleaning machines are in the
same area as the tumbler, then the
tumbler make-up air must come from a
source free of solvent gases and vapors.
W058
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
provide an individual exhaust
duct for each drying tumbler.
Do not install a hot water heater
in room containing drying
tumblers. It is better to
have the water heater in
a separate room with a
separate air inlet.
To reduce the risk of fire and
accumulation of combustible gases, DO
NOT exhaust tumbler air into a window
well, gas vent, chimney or enclosed,
unventilated area such as an attic wall,
ceiling, crawl space under a building, or
concealed space of a building.
W059
NOTE: Do not install wire
mesh or screen in this
opening as lint will build up
and prevent proper discharge
of air from drying tumblers.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, DO
NOT CONNECT THE GAS LINE TO THE
TUMBLER IF THE GAS SERVICE IS NOT
THE SAME AS THAT SPECIFIED ON THE
TUMBLER SERIAL PLATE! It will first be
necessary to convert the gas burner
orifice and gas valve. Appropriate
conversion kits are available.
W060
IMPORTANT: Any product revisions or conversions
must be made by the Manufacturer’s Authorized
Dealers, Distributors or local service personnel.
WARNING
The tumbler and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The size of gas service pipe is dependent upon many
variables (lengths, tees, etc.). Specific pipe size
information should be obtained from the gas supplier.
Refer to Ta b le 2 for general pipe size.
A dirt and water vapor pipe trap must be furnished and
installed by customer. Refer to Figure 6.
It is important that equal pressure be maintained at all
tumbler gas connections. This can best be done by
installing a one inch (2.54 cm) pipe gas loop. Refer to
Figure 7.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, if
the tumbler is to be connected to
Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) gas, a vent to
the outdoors must be provided in the
room where the tumbler is installed.
W062
NATURAL GAS service must be supplied at 6-1/2 ±
1-1/2 inch water column pressure (1.62 ± .37 kPa).
L.P. GAS service must be supplied at 11 ± .3 inch water
column pressure (2.74 ± .07 kPa).
The tumbler must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressure equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
IMPORTANT: The installation must comply with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes:
•with the latest edition of the “National Fuel
Gas Code”, ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S.A.
•with CAN1-B149.1 or CAN1-B149.2 in
Canada
•and Australian Gas Association/Australian
L.P. Gas Association requirements in Australia
Check all pipe connections, internal and
external, for gas leaks using a soapy
solution. To reduce the risk of explosion or
fire, DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Gas
connections should be checked annually
for leakage.
IMPORTANT: Gas loop piping must be installed

The size of the steam service pipe is dependent upon
many variables (length, tees, high pressure system, low
pressure system, etc.). Specific pipe size information
should be obtained from the steam system supplier or a
qualified steam fitter.
1. Refer to Figure 9 for proper steam pipe
configurations.
2. To prevent condensate draining from headers to
tumbler, piping should have a minimum 12 inch rise
(30.5 cm) above respective header. Do not make
steam connection to header with a horizontal or
downward facing tee or elbow.
3. Whenever possible, horizontal runs of steam lines
must drain, by gravity, to respective steam header.
Water pockets, or an improperly drained steam
header will provide wet steam, causing improper
operation of tumbler. If pockets or improper drainage
cannot be eliminated, install a bypass trap to drain
condensate from the low point in the steam header to
the return.
4. In both steam supply and steam return line, it is
recommended that each have a pipe union and globe
valve. This will enable you to disconnect the steam
connections and service the tumbler while your
facility is in operation.
5. Before connecting trap and check valve to tumbler,
open shut-off valve in steam supply line and allow
steam to flow through tumbler to flush out any dirt
and scale from tumbler. This will assure proper
operation of trap when connected.
6. After flushing system, install vacuum breaker, bucket
trap (with built-in strainer) and check valve. For
successful operation of tumbler, install trap 18 inches
(45.7 cm) below coil and as near to the tumbler as
possible. Inspect trap carefully for inlet and outlet
markings and install according to trap manufacturer’s
instructions. If steam is gravity returned to boiler,
omit trap but install vacuum breaker and check valve
in return line near tumbler.
PIPING RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Trap each steam coil individually. Always keep the
trap clean and in good working condition.
2. When tumbler is on the end of a line of equipment,
extend header at least 4 feet (1.2 m) beyond tumbler.
Install shutoff valve, union, check valve and bypass
trap at end of line. If gravity return to boiler, omit
trap.
3. Insulate steam supply and return line for safety of
operator and safety while servicing tumbler.
4. Keep tumbler in good working condition. Repair or
replace any worn or defective parts.
NOTE: Steam heated tumbler models are not
certified by the American Gas Association or the
Canadian Gas Association.
WARNING
The flexible steam hoses connecting the
coil outlet connections and steam traps
must have a minimum of 172 psig (pounds
per square inch gauge) (12.04 kg/sq. cm)
working pressure. A shut-off valve must
be installed downstream from each steam
trap so the condensate return line can be
isolated in event a steam trap requires
maintenance.

STEAM VALVE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Refer to wiring diagram for steam valve electrical
connections in J-Box.
7. Install union and shut-off valve in return line and
make final pipe connections to return header.
