Installation Instructions
¢ For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer
and the wall is highly recommended
(see illustrations
below]. Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall
without
kinking
and
or crushing
the transition
duct,
maximizing drying performance.
¢ Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT
¢ In special installations, it may be necessary to connect
the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-
type} duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct may
be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible
metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4"
diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length
of the transition duct.
¢ In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal
(foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes
Dryer Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be used.
¢ Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
* Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet
(2.4m).
¢ Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
