Install the duct pass-thru windows (18) through the sidewalls wall sheets (90). IMPORTANT: Make sure the holes on the flanges of the duct pass-thru (18) are positioned to line up with the holes in the duct elbow (45).
Chapter 4: Duct Installation Installing the Duct Elbows The duct elbows attach to the duct pass-thru window and the bottom of the duct columns. Before You Begin Install the duct pass-thru windows into the dryer prior to installing the duct elbows. 1.
Chapter 4: Duct Installation Installing the Optional Duct Cover The duct covers are available to cover the opening in the event of a static pressure drop. 1. Align the four tabs elbow duct cap tabs (87) to the four holes at the end of the duct pass-thru window (18).
Chapter 4: Duct Installation Assembling the Straight Ducts The straight duct assemblies are stacked to create the vertical ducts. 1. Place the flat edges of the duct walls (44) to the flanged edges of the duct walls (44) to form a box. NOTE: Make sure to oriented the duct walls in the same direction when assembling.
Chapter 4: Duct Installation Installing the Top Duct Guard The top duct guard will prevent debris from falling into the duct work. 1. Place the top duct guard (29) onto the flanges of the top of the final 40” duct section (28). 2.
Chapter 4: Duct Installation Installing the Duct Supports to the Vertical Channels The duct supports connect the duct columns to the vertical channels. What You Should Know Vertical channels can vary depending on the dryer model, but the hole spacing should be the same. 1.

Chapter 5: Enclosure Installation Installing the Catwalk Clips The catwalk clips connect the enclosure supports to the vertical channels. 1. Locate the first catwalk clip (35) above the set of lower duct supports (1 and 12) that are located closest to the enclosure roof flashing (40). 2.
Chapter 5: Enclosure Installation Installing the Enclosure Supports The horizontal and angle enclosure supports connect the vertical supports for the enclosure to the vertical channels. What You Should Know NOTE: Enclosure supports are not to be installed above the catwalks to ensure there is enough head clearance.

Chapter 5: Enclosure Installation Installing the Vertical Supports The vertical supports connect the horizontal rails and enclosure walls. What You Should Know The vertical support will be off to one side on the enclosure support. This chosen direction should be held consistently around the circumference of the dryer.
Chapter 5: Enclosure Installation Installing the Short Vertical Supports The short vertical supports are only used when there is an odd number of enclosure wall sheet rings. The standard vertical supports span two enclosure wall sheets and the short vertical support only spans one enclosure wall sheet.
