CONNECTING
THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT
{CONT.)
UL-Listed Flexible Metal (Foil-Type)Transition Duct
• In special installations, it meg be necessary to connect
the dryer to the house vent using e flexible metal
(foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct
meg be used ONLYin 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 end the United States, only the flexible
metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A" shell be
used.
• Never install flexible metal duct in wells, ceilings, floors
or other enclosed spaces.
Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed
8 feet (2.4 m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
For best drying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet
pipe.
2. Secure the duct with e clamp.
5. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the
duct to its full length. Allow 2" of duct to overlap the
exhaust pipe. Cut off end remove excess duct. Keep
the duct us straight us possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other
clamp.
SEALING
OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to ovoid leeks.
NOTE: T he mule end of each section of duct must point
away from the dryer.
Do not assemble ductwork with fasteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as e collection
point for lint.
Duct joints can be made air- end moisture-tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
INSULATION
• Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or
is near an air conditioning duct should be insulated
to reduce condensation end lint buildup.
