ADDITIONAL VENTING INFORMATION

It is critical to maintain the correct static pressure in the dryer vent system. Maximum
vent pipe length and the number of elbows must be figured into the equation to ensure
there is not too much static pressure within the vent line. Measure the static pressure
using a 0-to-1" magnehelic, a digital manometer, or a Dwyer 460 air meter. Static
pressure should be no greater than 0.6 inches of water column.

In the case of a dryer vent, the manometer
is attached to a fitting on a test pipe in the
dryer exhaust to read the static pressure in
the vent. Static pressure should be no
greater than 0.6 inches of water column.
REMINDER! If you have installed the side
vent kit, remember the kit includes a 90°
elbow inside the dryer which counts as
one elbow in the vent system and this must
be taken into account when figuring vent
length and static pressure measurements.
It is sometimes necessary to use a section
of test pipe with a fitting installed. Attach
the test pipe section to the vent where it
exits the dryer and attach the existing vent
pipe to the end of the test pipe to get an
accurate reading of the static pressure in
the entire vent system.
The Dwyer 460 Air Meter is an economical
test item for measuring static pressure in
vent ducts. It is attached to a fitting on a
test pipe in the dryer exhaust to read the
static pressure in the vent.
