DRYER EXHAUSTING INFORMATION –METAL DUCT ONLY
For complete information, see installation instructions packed with your dryer.
DUCTING MATERIALS: For best performance, this dryer should be vented with 4" diameter
all rigid metal exhaust duct. If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible
metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077). In special installations, it may
be necessary to connect the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-type) duct. A
UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or
flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be maintained
throughout the entire length of the transition duct. Please see installation instruction packed
with your dryer for complete instructions when using flexible metal (foil type) ducting.
EXHAUST LENGTH CALCULATION:
1. Determine the number of 90° turns needed for your installation. If you exhaust
to the side or bottom of dryer, add one turn.
2. The maximum length of 4' rigid (aluminum or galvanized) duct which can be tolerated
is shown in the table.
A turn of 45° or less may be ignored. Two 45° turns within the duct length
should be treated as a 90° elbow.
A turn over 45° should be treated as a 90° elbow.
Dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
CAUTION: For personal safety do not terminate exhaust into a chimney, under any enclosed
house floor (crawl space), or into an attic, since the accumulated lint could create a fire hazard
or moisture could cause damage. Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct or plenum
with a kitchen exhaust, since the combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.
Exhaust ducts should be terminated in a dampered wall cap to prevent back drafts, bird
nesting, etc. The wall cap must also be located at least 12" above the ground or any other
obstruction with the opening pointed down.
