SINGLE DRYER VENTING
IMPORTANT:
A minimum exhaust duct size of 6-inches (15.24 cm)
must be
used.
For a 6-inch (15.24 cm) horizontal run where a maximum of one (1) elbow is used (refer to the
illustration
below
), the ductwork from the dryer outlet
must not exceed
8 feet (2.44 meters).
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the
cross-sectional area of the ductwork
must be
increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added.
IMPORTANT:
For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be
increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits noted in
this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm
should be
consulted for proper venting information.
When single 6-inch (15.24 cm) venting is used, for a horizontal run, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside
outlet
cannot
exceed 8 feet (2.44 meters) in total length. This calculation of 8 feet (2.44 meters) compensates
or allows for the use of a maximum of one (1) elbow (which is the outside outlet protection). Refer to the
illustration above
