Multiple Dryer Venting
n
   A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. Main 
vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min (200 CFM) of air 
per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may 
be used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. 
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up 
air equal to or greater than the airflow of all the dryers in the 
room.
n
   A back-draft damper kit is needed and is available from a 
commercial laundry distributor; it should be installed in the 
vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from returning  
into the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within  
the main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the 
direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side 
should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering 
with the other vents.
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should 
be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create 
acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can 
damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic 
cleaning of the vent system.
If an exhaust hood cannot be used:
The outside end of the main vent should have a sweep elbow 
directed downward. If the main vent travels vertically through the 
roof, rather than through the wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on 
the end of the vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above the highest part 
of the building. The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 
1/2" (13 mm) larger than the vent diameter. The vent should be 
centered in the opening.
Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended for best drying performance 
and to avoid crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when 
the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent 
to avoid sagging and kinking that will result in reduced airflow  
and poor performance.
The total length of flexible metal vent should not exceed 7
3
4
 ft. 
(2.4 m).
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and  
insects from entering the building.
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, bushes, or snow).
If using an existing vent system, 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 metal or 
flexible metal vent.
Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making 
turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Vent outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back. 
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer,  
or straight out the back of the dryer. 
Vent System Length
Maximum length of vent system depends upon the type of vent 
used, number of elbows, and type of exhaust hood. 
If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom  
or bathroom, provision must be made for enough air for 
combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and 
ordinances.) See “Recessed Area Installation Instructions”  
in the “Location requirements” section.
A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2

(64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2
