Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.
Multiple Dryer Venting
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 5663 I/rain. (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, Part No. 3391910, 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 airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the 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 damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.
Make Gas Connection
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
