The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible 
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate 
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

■

Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct 
path outdoors. 

■

Plan the installation to use the 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 the fewest 90° turns possible.

■

Use the 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 the Vent system chart. 

Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

■

Shorten the life of the dryer.

■

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times 

 

and increased energy usage.

The vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help 
to achieve the best drying performance.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn inside 
the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90º turn 
to the chart.
