Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting

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 as
noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm should be
consulted for proper venting information.

If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each
dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a
“common main duct.”  The individual ducts should enter the
bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45º
in the direction of airflow.  The main duct should be tapered,
with the diameter increasing before each individual duct is
added.  The minimum diameter of the individual ductwork
must be at least Dimension A (12-inches [30.48 cm] for the
ADH-75; 18-inches [45.72 cm] for the ADH-120; 20-inches
[50.8 cm] for the ADH-170).
The illustration on the right shows the minimum cross-
sectional area for multiple dryer round or square venting.
These figures must be increased if the main duct run from
the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is longer
than Dimension B (20 feet [6.096 meters]) or has more than
1 elbow in it.

ADH-120

Multiple Dryer Venting with 18-Inch (45.72 cm) Diameter

2,500 cfm (70.79 cmm) Exhaust Connections at Common Duct

NOTE 1

Opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way
around).  The duct must be centered within this opening.

NOTE 2

Distance should be 2 times the diameter of the duct to the nearest
obstruction.

Important

ADH-170: No more than 3 dryers should be
connected to 1 main common duct.
