If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be
channeled into a “common main duct.”  The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct
at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of airflow and should be spaced at least 46-1/8” (117.16 cm)
apart.  The main duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual 14-inch (35.56
cm) (minimum for gas, electric, or steam dryers) duct is added.
IMPORTANT: No more than three (3) dryers should be connected to one (1) main common duct.
NOTE: The individual ducts traveling from each dryer up to the common duct must not travel more
than 15 feet (4.57 meters) including the 45° entry elbow into the common duct and the 90°
elbow outside the dryer allowing the duct to travel vertically.  These individual ducts must be a
minimum of 14-inches (35.56 cm).  If the ductwork exceeds these limits, the ductwork size
must be increased proportionally according to the number of elbows and the length that has
been added.
