EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)
Installation Instructions
CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE
VENT
RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT
•
For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition
duct is recommended.
•
Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing
and kinking.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION
DUCT
•
If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed
flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit
PM08X10085).
•
Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors
or other enclosed spaces.
•
Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7’
9” (2.4 m).
•
For many applications, installing elbows at both
the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see
illustrations at right). Elbows allow the dryer to sit
close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing the
transition duct, maximizing drying performance.
•
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION
DUCT
•
In special installations, it may be necessary to connect
the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal
(foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct
may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or
flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND
where a 4
”
diameter can be maintained throughout
the entire length of the transition duct.
•
In Canada and the United States, only the flexible
metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the “Outline for
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct Subject 2158A” shall be
used.
•
Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors
or other enclosed spaces.
•
Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7’
9” (2.4 m).
•
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
•
For best drying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer
outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend
the duct to its full length. Allow 2
”
of duct to
overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove
excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as
possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the
other clamp.
FOR TRANSITION VENTING (DRYER TO
WALL), DO
:
• DO cut duct as
short as possible
and install
straight into wall.
•
DO use elbows
when turns are
necessary.
DO NOT:
Elbows
• DO NOT bend or
collapse ducting.
Use elbows
if turns are
necessary.
•
DO NOT use
excessive
exhaust length.
Cut duct as short
as possible.
• DO NOT crush
duct against the
wall.
•
DO NOT set
