The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will 
help achieve best drying performance.
Special provisions for mobile homes:
Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible 
portion of mobile home and must not terminate beneath the 
mobile home. Terminate exhaust vent outside. 
Determine vent path:
n
  Select route that will provide straightest and most direct  
path outdoors.
n
  Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
n
  When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room  
as possible.
n
  Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
n
  Use as few 90° turns as 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 “Vent System Chart.”
Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:
 
n
Shorten life of dryer.
 
n
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times  
and increased energy usage.
