Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
Wall caps must be installed at least 12in. above ground level or any other
obstruction with the opening pointed down,
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a
4in. dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow, prevention of back drafts, and maintenance required to prevent clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
For besl perlbrmance, separate all turns by al: least 4 ft. of' straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened wall cap.
TURNS C £HER THAN 90°
One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
Two 45`=turns should be treated as one 90° turn.
Each turn over 15" should be treated as one 90° turn.
SEALING OF JOINTS
All ioh3tsshould be fight to avoid leaks. The nmle end of each section of
duct must point away froln the dryer,
Do not assembb the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serw_as a collection point f.r lint.
