The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the
exhaust system depends upon the type of duct,
number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall
cap) and all conditions noted below. The maximum
allowable length for both rigid and flexible metal is
shown in the table below. More than three 90 ° turns
are not recommended.

Hoodor Wall Cap
Terminate in a manner to prevent buck drafts or
entry of birds or other wildlifE.
Termination should present minimal resistance to
the exhaust airflow and should require little or no
maintenance to prevent clogging.
Never install screen over exhaust duct.
Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above
ground leve! or any other obstruction with the
opening pointed down.
If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they
must be equivalent to a 4" dampered wall cap in
regard to resistance to air flow, prevention of back
drafts and maintenance required to prevent
clogging.

Sealing of Joints
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
NOTE: The male 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 service as a
collection point for lint,
Duct joints can be made air and 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 and lint build-up.
