Special Provisions For
Mobile Home Installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to
a noncombustible portion of the mobile home
structure and must not terminate beneath the
mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent out-
side.
Determine Vent Length
1. Select the route that will provide the
straightest and most direct path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using
elbows or making turns, allow as much
room as possible. Bend vent gradually to
avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns.
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust sys-
tem depends upon:
• The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible
metal).
• The number of elbows used.
• Type of hood.
Recommended hood styles are shown
here.
The angled hood style (shown following)
is acceptable.
(10.2 cm)
See the exhaust vent length chart that
matches your hood type for the maximum
vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified
will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer
drying times and increased energy us-
age.
3. Determine the number of elbows you will
need.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer
than those specified in the Vent Length
Chart.
The following chart helps you determine
your maximum vent length based on the
number of 90° turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible
metal) and hood that you will use.
