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 2 feet (0.60 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. The
bulkhead facing must not be closed in all the way to the top
of the dryer. A 2-inch (5.08 cm) clearance is required.
NOTE: Bulkhead facing should not be installed until after
dryer is in place. Ceiling area must be located a minimum of
12-inches (30.48 cm) above the top of the dryer. Even though
a minimum of only 12-inches (30.48 cm) is required, 18-inches
(45.72 cm) or more is suggested, for steam dryers and
especially in cases where sprinkler heads are over the dryers.
When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a
minimum of 18-inches (45.72 cm) above the dryer console
(module) is suggested. Dryers may be positioned sidewall
to sidewall however, 1- or 2-inches (2.54 cm or 5.08 cm) is
suggested between dryers (or wall) for ease of installation
and maintenance. Allowances must be made for the opening
and closing of the control and lint doors.
