Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be

months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up.
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
12-inches (30.48 cm) - (18-inches [45.72 cm] or more is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance, and
service) - above the dryer's outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be closed in if desired.
NOTE: Even though a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer's outer top is acceptable, a
clearance of 18-inches (45.72 cm) or more is suggested for ease of installation and service
(electrical power connections).
NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm)
above the dryer's outer top is required.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, allowances must be made for opening and closing of
the control door and the lint door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away
from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the back
guard). Refer to the illustration on the previous page for details.
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
