Exhaust Requirements

1
1. Removable strip of panel in framing wall to permit removal of tumble dryer from framing wall
2. Partition or bulkhead
3. Minimum distance between exhaust opening and roof, ground or other obstruction, 36 in. [910 mm]
4. 2.0 in. [50 mm] minimum clearance on both sides of duct
5. Exhaust airflow – maximum length of rigid duct 14 ft. [4.3 m] or 7.9 ft. [2.4 m] of flexible metal duct
NOTE: Do not install wire mesh or screen in exhaust
duct opening to avoid lint build-up or impacting proper
discharge of air from tumble dryers.
NOTE: Where exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall
or ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes.
NOTE: Inside of duct must be smooth. Do not use
sheet metal screws to join sections.
NOTE: Locate exhaust far enough away from make-up
air location to prevent re-introduction.
Consult your local building code for regulations which may also
apply.

Individual Venting

For maximum efficiency and performance, it is preferred to ex-
haust tumble dryer(s) individually to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT: At no point may the cross sectional area
of installed venting be less than the cross sectional
area of the exhaust outlet of the tumble dryer.
The exhaust duct must be designed so the static back pressure
measured 12 inches [305 mm] from the exhaust outlet does not
exceed the maximum allowable pressure specified in the Specifi-
cations and Dimensions Table or on the installation sticker on the
rear of the tumble dryer.

NOTE: Static back pressure must be measured with the
tumble dryer running.
The maximum allowable length venting is 14 feet [4.3 m] and
two 90° elbows or equivalent. If the equivalent length of a duct
required for an installation exceeds the maximum allowable
equivalent length, the diameter of a round duct must be increased
by 10% for each additional 20 feet [6.1 m] . Cross section area of
a rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for each additional
20 feet [6.1 m] . Refer to Table 12 to determine equivalent vent-
ing.
