Special provisions for mobile home installations
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.
Determine vent path
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.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best 
drying performance
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.
A. Standard rear offset exhaust installation
B. Left or right side exhaust installation
C. Bottom exhaust installation (not an option 
with pedestal installations)
A. Over-the-top installation (also available with one 
offset elbow)
