• Terminate
in a manner
to prevent
back drafts or entry of birds or
other wildlife.
• Termination
should present
minimal
resistance
to the exhaust
air flow
and should require
little or no maintenance
to prevent
clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.This could canse lint build up.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground
level or any other
obstruction
with the opening
pointed

* Oile ttlrn of 45 ° or less may be ignored.
, Two 45 ° tt/rns shouht be treated
as one 90 ° tt/rn.
, Each tt/rn over 45 ° shouhl be treated
as one 90 ° tt/rn.
SEALING
OF JOINTS
* _Mljoints should be tight te avoid leaks. The male end of each section
of
duct must point away flom the dryer.
* Do not assemble
the ductwork
with fasteners
that extend
into the duct.
They will serve as a collection
point fer lint.
Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight
by wrapping
the
overlapped
joints
with d t_ct rope.
Horizontal
runs should slope down toward the outdoors
_½ inch per feot
