If rigid all-metal duct cannot be used, then flexible all-metal
venting can be used, but it will reduce the maximum

then UL-listed clothes dryer transition
duct may be used as
transition venting between the dryer and wall connection
only. The
use of this ducting will affect dry time.

the following directions
Ernst
