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 heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm

should be

 consulted for proper venting information.

NOTE:

When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible
materials, the opening 

must be

 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around).

The duct 

must be 

centered within this opening.

Outside Ductwork Protection

To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward

should be

 installed where the exhaust exits the building.  If the ductwork travels vertically up through the

roof, it 

should be

 protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward.  In

either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT

 use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust

ductwork.

3. Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting

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 45° in the direction of the flow and 

should be

 spaced at least 60-3/16”

(152.87 cm) apart.  The main duct 

should be

 tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual

20-inch (50.8 cm) (for MLG-190DR 12-inches [30.4 cm]) duct is added.

Where common venting is used, the length of the horizontal ductwork run, from the last dryer (nearest to
where the ductwork exits the building) in the common duct to the outside exhaust outlet, 

must not exceed

20 feet (6.1 meters).

The minimum duct size from each dryer into the common duct 

must be

 20-inches (50.8 cm) (for

MLG-190DR 12-inches [30.4 cm]) in diameter, and must not have more than one (1) 45° elbow (connection
into the common duct) and one (1) 90° elbow (dryer connection).  Total run of the duct between the dryer
and the common duct connection 

must not exceed

 15 feet (4.57 meters).

IMPORTANT:

This dryer 

is

 

not

 provided with a back draft damper.  When exhausted into a multiple

(common) exhaust line, a back draft damper 

must be

 installed at each dryer duct.

IMPORTANT:

No more than three (3) dryers 

should be

 connected to one (1) main common duct.
