SEALING OFJOINTS
, All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of
each section of duct must point away from 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 can be made air and moisture-tight
by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
, Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors
1/4 inch per foot
INSULATION
Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air
conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation
and lint build-up.

a ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an
enclosed floor, or in any other concealed space
of a building. The accumulated lint could create a
potential fire hazard.
. Never terminate the exhaust into o common duct

This will cause lint to accumulate,
creating a
potential fire hazard.

that extend into the duct. These fasteners can
