If an exhaust hood cannot be used, the outside end of
the main vent should have a sweep elbow directed
downward. If the main vent travels vertically through the
roof, rather than through the wall, install 189 ° sweep
elbow on the end of vent at least 2 feet above the
highest part of the building. The opening in the wall or
roof shall have a diameter ½ inch larger than the exhaust
vent diameter. The exhaust vent should be
centered in the opening.
A main exhaust vent can be used for exhausting a
group of dryers. Main exhaust vent should be sized to
remove 200 CFM of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint
screens of proper design may be used in the main
exhaust vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The
room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in
the room.

Back-draft Damper Kits, Part No. 3391910, are
available from your Whirlpool dealer and should be
installed in each dryeds exhaust vent to prevent
exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to keep
the exhaust in balance within the main exhaust vent.
Unobstructed air openings are required.
Each exhaust vent should enter the main vent at an
angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents
entering from the opposite side should be staggered to
reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other
vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main
vent should be no more than 30 °.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes.
Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the
dryer heating units, can damage dryers and loads
being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main
exhaust vent for periodically cleaning of the exhaust
system.
An exhaust hood should cap the outside end of the
main vent to prevent exhausted air from returning to the
dryers. If an exhaust hood cannot be used, the outside
end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward. If the main vent travels vertically
through the roof, rather than through the wall, install
180 ° sweep elbow on the end of vent at least 2 feet (61
cm) above the highest part of the building. The opening
wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2 inch (1.3 cm)
larger than the exhaust vent diameter. The exhaust vent
should be centered in the opening.
