The Vent System Chart provides venting requirements that will 

help achieve best drying performance.

noTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn inside the 

dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn  

to the chart.

Select route that will provide straightest and most direct  

 

■

path outdoors.

Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.

 

■

When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room  

 

■

as possible.

Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

 

■

Use as few 90° turns as possible.

 

■

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.

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 

exterior wall opening around 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.
