Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best 
 
for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown. 
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. 
                                A                                 B
A. Over-the-top installation (also available with 
one offset elbow)
B. Periscope installation
NOTE: The following kits for close clearance alternate 
installations are available for purchase. For information on 
ordering, see “Assistance or Service.”
Over-the-Top Installation: 
Part Number 4396028
Periscope Installation (for use with dryer vent to wall vent 
mismatch):
Part Number 4396037 - for mismatch of 0" (0 mm) to 
 
18" (457 mm)
Part Number 4396011 - for mismatch of 18" (457 mm) to 
29" (737 mm)
Part Number 4396014 - for mismatch of 29" (737 mm) to 
50" (1.27 m)
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.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best 
drying performance
Use the Vent system chart below to determine type of vent 
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in 
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those 
specified will:
Shorten the life of the dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times 
 
and increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will 
help to achieve the best drying performance.
