Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
Use following Vent system chart to determine type of vent
■
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified
in Vent system chart.
Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:
Shorten life of dryer.
■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
■
and increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help achieve best drying performance.
NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installation have a 90° turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add
on 90° turn to the chart.

Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.
