If dryer is Installed In a confined area,
such as a bedroom, bothroom or

Four-lnch 110.2 cm) metal exhaust vent

L_required, Plan Installation to use the
fewest number of elbows and turns.

An exhaust hood should cap the
exhaust vent to prevent exhausted air

from returning Into the dryer. The
outlet of the hood must be at least

12 inches (30.5 cm) from the ground

or anything else that may be in the

path of the exhaust.

Four-lnch outlet hood is preferred.
However, a 2-1/2-inch (6.4 cm) outlet
exhaust hood may be used. A
2-1/2-inch (6.4 cm) outlet creates

greater back pressure than other
hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary exhaust
system is required,

A main exhaust vent can be used for
exhausting a group of dryers. Main

exhaust vent should be sized to
remove 200 CFM of air per dryer.

Large-capacity lint screens of proper

design may be used in the main

exhaust vent if checked and cleaned

frequently. The room where the dryers

are located should have make-up air
equal to or greater than the CFM of

all the dryers in the room.

The maximum angle of each vent
enteringthe main vent should be no

more than 30°.

Keep air openings free of dry
cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create

acids which, when drawn through the

dryer heating units, can damoge
dryers and loads being tided.

A clean-out cover should be located

on the main exhaust vent for
perlodicaltycleaning of the exhaust

system.

An exhaust hood should cap the
outside end of the main vent to

prevent exhausted air from returning
to the dryers. If an exhaust hood
cannot be used, the outside end of

the main duct should have a sweep

elbow directed downward. If the
main vent travels vertically through

the roof, rather than through the wall,

install 180° sweep elbow on the end
of vent at least 2 feet (61 cm) above

the highest part of the building. The

opening wall or roof shall have a
diameter 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) larger than

the exhaust vent diameter. The
exhaust vent should be centered in

the opening,

personnel, and authorized
service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in
