_WARNING
- USE ONLY METAL 4-IN. DUCT.
DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED
IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH
TABLE.
Exhaust longer than specified will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
" Reduce the dryer life.
• Accunmlate
lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust
installation
is your responsibility.
Problems
due to incorrect
installation
a,,e not covered
by the warranty.
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-. Both

EXHAUST
SYSTEM
CHECK LiST
HOOD OR WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or
other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air flow
and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level or any other
obstruction with the opening pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered plenmns are used, they must be equivalent to a
4-in. dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow, prevention of
back drafts, and maintenance required to prevent clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
Fox'best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 fL of straight duct,
including distance between last turn and dampened wall cap.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90°
o
• One turn of 45 or less may be ignored.
o
(
o
• Two 45 turns should be treated as one J0 turn.
o
• Each turn over 45 o should be treated as one ,)0 turn.
SEALING OF JOINTS
"All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of
duct must point away fi'om the dryer.
• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct.
They will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints should be made air-and moisture-tight by wrapping the
overlapped joints with duct tape.
• Horizontal runs should slope down towm'ds outdoors 1/2 inch pet"fbot,
INSULATION
• Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning
should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build up_
