carpets, etc.

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.
