5. Sealing of joints
All duct joints should avoid leaks. Duct joints should be made air and moisture tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape. The male ends of each section of duct
should point away from the dryer. Do not assemble the ductwork with screws or other
fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
6. Air Supply to Dryer
ALL DRYERS NEED A GOOD SUPPLY OF AIR (UP TO 160 CFM) TO
OPERATE PROPERLY.
• ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
Minimum clearances are required between dryer cabinets, adjacent walls, overhead
cabinets, ceilings and other combustible surfaces. Consult specific dryer installation
instructions for requirements.
Consideration must be given to provide adequate clearances for air supply,
installation, servicing and cleaning.
Closet doors must be louvered or otherwise ventilated and must contain at least 60
square inches of open-air passage area. If the closet contains both a washer and a
dryer, doors must contain 120 square inches of open-air passage.
• REGULAR DRYER INSTALLATION
When installed in closed laundry room, leave gap at bottom of door to allow air inlet for
proper operation of dryer.
