Instructions
UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLE METAL(SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITIONDUCT
• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible
metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length offlexible metal duct should not exceed8 feet (2.4m).
• For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer
and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations
below). Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall
without
kinking and or crushing the transition
duct,
maximizing drying performance.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLE METAL(FOIL-TYPE) T RANSITIONDUCT
• In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the
dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-type) duct.
A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct may be used ONLY
in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid)
ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be
maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.
• In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal
(foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes
Dryer Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be used.
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
• Total length offlexible metal duct should not exceed8 feet (2.4m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
For best drying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct
to its full length. Allow 2" of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe.
Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight
as possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.
