Special provisions for mobile home installations:

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate the 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 following “Vent System Chart” to determine type of vent

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied in “Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:

■ Shorten life of dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.
