cover the end of the dryer stub or exhaust duct

Connecting to a ventilation duct
You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch ridged
metal exhaust duct. If a flexible duct is used, it
must comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer
Transition Duct. Subject 2158A and maximum
length of 2.4 m (8 feet).
NOTE!
The more bends and the longer the duct, the
less air will circulate through the machine, which
will impede drying performance. We recommend
that you cut off any excess exhaust duct and run
the duct with as few bends as possible. And
make any necessary bends as gentle as
possible.
NOTE!
Maximum duct length of 60 feet and 4 elbows is
allowed. Subtract 4 feet of duct for each 90°
elbow. If more than 20 feet of duct is needed,
the diameter must be increased to 6” or 8” (152
mm or 203 mm).
NOTE!
When installing in warm climates (77° F and
above) with high humidity levels, do not route
the air exhaust duct upwards.
