If rigid all-metal duct cannot be used, then flexible all-metal ducting
can be used, but it will reduce the maximum recommended duct
length. In special installations when it is impossible to use only
metal ducting, then UL-listed clothes dryer flexible metal transition
duct may be used as transition venting between the dryer and wall
connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time.
If flexible transition duct is necessary, the following directions
must
be followed.
• Use the Shortest Length Possible.
• Stretch the Duct to Its Maximum Length to avoid kinks.
• Do Not Crush or Collapse the Duct.
• Never Use Transition Duct Inside the Wall or
Inside the Dryer.
• Avoid Resting the Duct on Sharp Objects.
•
Venting Must Conform to Local Building Codes.
