    C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be positioned approximately 3 feet (0.91 meters) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation, maintenance, and service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. The clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the dryer front.

  • Page 17: Exhaust Requirements

    Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. An airflow of 2,100 cfm (cubic feet per minute) (59.5 cmm [cubic meters per minute]) must be supplied to each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 3 square feet (0.28 square meters) is required for each dryer.
  • Page 18 CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. NOTE: When a dryer is exhausted separately, it is recommended that a back draft damper be installed. NOTE: When dryers are exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, each dryer must be supplied with a back draft damper.
  • Page 19 Outside Ductwork Protection To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.
  • Page 20 IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased to an extent. Maximum proportional ductwork runs cannot exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters) more than the original limitations of 20 feet (6.09 meters) with two (2) elbows. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
