EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

 

Dryer vent must not be connected into any gas vent,  

chimney, wall, ceiling, attic, crawlspace, or a concealed space  

of a building. 

 

■

Clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure 

exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. 

 

■

Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid heavy metal 

vent or flexible metal vent.

 

■

Review Vent System Chart. Modify existing vent system if 

necessary to achieve the best drying performance. Only rigid 

or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting.

 

■

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

 

■

4" (102 mm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

 

■

Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid 

crushing and kinking.

 

■

Must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in it’s 

final location. 

 

■

Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result 

in reduced airflow and poor performance.

 

■

Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings, or 

floors.

Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

 

■

Use clamps to seal all joints.

 

■

Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws 

or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the 

vent and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

   

     

      

 

■

An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and 

insects from entering the home or business.

 

■

Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (305 mm) from the ground 

or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as 

flowers, rocks, or bushes).

creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For

■

The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer, 

or straight out the back of the dryer.
