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 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.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for 
best drying performance:
 
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.
The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that 
will help achieve best drying performance.

Install exhaust hood
1.
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal 
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
Connect vent to exhaust hood
2.
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.
