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.
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.

>
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.
Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other
enclosed spaces.
>
Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet (2.4m).
>
Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
