CONNECTING THE DRYERTO HOUSEVENT
RIGIDMETAL TRANSITION DUCT
• Forbest drying performance,a rigid metal transition duct is
recommended.
• Rigidmetal transitions ducts reducethe risk of crushing and
kinking.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION DUCT
• If rigid metal duct cannot be used,then UL-listedflexible metal
(semi-rigid) ducting can be used(KitWX08XZ0077).
• Never installflexible metal duct in walls,ceilings,floors or
other enclosedspaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct shouldnot exceed8 feet
(2.4m).
• Formany applications,installing elbows at both the dryer
and the wall is highly recommended(seeillustrations below).
Elbowsallow the dryer to sit closeto the wall without kinking
and or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying
performance.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL [FOIL-TYPE)TRANSITION DUCT
• in special installations,it may be necessaryto connectthe
dryerto the housevent usinga flexible metal (foil-type)duct.
A UL-listedflexible metal (foil-type)duct may be usedONLY
in installationswhere rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid)
ducting cannot be usedANDwhere a 4" diameter can be
maintained throughout the entire length of the transition
duct.
• in Canadaand the United States,onlythe flexible metal (foil-
type) ducts that complywith the "Outlinefor ClothesDryer
TransitionDuct Subject2158A"shall be used.
• Never installflexible metal duct in walls,ceilings,floors or
other enclosedspaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct shouldnot exceed8 feet
(2.4m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• Forbest drying performance:
1.Slideone end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.
2.Securethe duct with a clamp.
3.With the dryer in its permanent position,extend the duct to
its full length. Allow 2"of duct to overlapthe exhaustpipe.
Cut off and remove excessduct. Keepthe duct as straight
as possiblefor maximum airflow.
4. Securethe duct to the exhaust pipewith the other clamp.
