2. 
Connect vent to exhaust hood
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.
2.  
Attach short hose and  
“Y” connector
If space permits, attach the female end of the “Y” connector 
to the cold water faucet. See figure A.
If “Y” connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water 
faucet, the short hose must be used. See figure B. Attach 
short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand 
until it is seated on faucet. Then attach “Y” connector to male 
end of the short hose. Screw on coupling by hand until it is 
seated on connector.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk 
of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on 
the hoses for future reference. 
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, 
wear, or leaks are found.
