ALLIANCE 120 Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual page 33

WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork
causes excess back pressure which
results in slow drying, lint collecting in
the duct, lint blowing back into the room,
and increased fire hazard.
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such
ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion
resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel
not less than 0.495 mm (0.0195 inches) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes. The
space around the duct may be sealed with noncombustible
material. Refer to Figure 12.
IMPORTANT: For best performance provide an
individual exhaust duct for each tumble dryer. Do
not install a hot water heater in a room containing
tumble dryers. It is better to have the water heater
in a separate room with a separate air inlet.
