Venting Requirements
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, this dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Dryer exhaust must not be connected into any gas vent,
chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space
of a building. Only rigid or exible metal vent shall be used for
exhausting.
4"
(102 mm)
4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent
Elbows:
■ 45° elbows provide better airow than 90° elbows.
Good
Better
Clamps:
■ Use clamps to seal all joints.
■ Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws
or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct
and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.
Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect
indoors, which may result in:
Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint, wallpaper,
carpets, etc.
Housecleaning problems and health problems.
■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps
may be used.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent:
■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid
crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)
■ Must be fully extended and supported in nal dryer location.
■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result
in reduced airow and poor performance.
■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or oors.
■ The total length should not exceed 7
3
⁄4 ft. (2.4 m).
NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire
length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not
plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid
metal or exible metal vents. Review “Vent System Chart” and
if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying
performance.
NOTE: Although each single-load dryer should typically have
an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24" (154 cm) (based
on 1" [6.5 cm] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air
openings are also acceptable.
Set up common openings so the make-up air is distributed
equally to all dryers. Coverage area must be increased by 33%
to account for the use of registers or louvers.
Make-up air openings should not be installed near the building
exits for exhaust vents.

in the “Location Requirements” sections.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 21⁄2"
(64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 21⁄2" (64 mm)
outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.
Connect Vent
1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
2. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
If an Exhaust Hood Cannot be Used Multiple Dryer Venting
The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.
24" min.
12" min.
(305 mm)*
* Minimum clearance above
any accumulation of snow,
ice, or debris such as leaves
(610 mm)
If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than
through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least
2 ft. (610 mm) above surface of roof.
The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm)
larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM)
of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design
may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
Back-draft Damper Kit is available from your distributor and
should be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep exhausted
air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust in balance
within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.
30˚ max.
Airflow
Air ow
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should
be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning uid fumes. Fumes
create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating
units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent
for periodic cleaning of the vent system.
