Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making
turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the back of the dryer, at bottom center.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,
or straight out the back of the dryer. See "Product Dimensions"
in the "Location Requirements" section.
Make-up air:
Although each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed
outdoor air opening of 24 in
per 1,000 B.T.U. [252 kcal]), common make-up air openings are
also acceptable. Set up common openings so that the make-up
air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep in mind that
the coverage area must be increased by 33% to account for
use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also, make-up air
openings should not be installed near the location
of exhaust vents exiting the building.
Vent System Length
Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of
vent used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood.
The maximum length for rigid vent is shown in the chart.

NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a
Manometer. Minimum: 0.01" (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6" (16 mm).
For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart,
see your parts distributor.
If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom,
bathroom, or closet, provision must be made for enough air
for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and
ordinances.) See "Recessed Area and Closet Installation
Instructions" in the "Location Requirements" section.

If An Exhaust Hood Cannot Be Used
The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.
" (64 mm)
If the main vent travels
vertically through the roof,
rather than through the wall,
install a 180° sweep elbow
on the end of the vent at
least 2 ft (610 mm) above the
highest part of the building.
The opening in the wall or
roof shall have a diameter
1/2" (13 mm) larger than
the vent diameter. The vent
should be centered in the
opening.
Do not install screening or
cap over the end of the vent.
