RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT
•
For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is
recommended.
• Rigid metal transitions ducts reduce the risk of crushing and
kinking
.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION
DUCT
•
If rigid metal duct cannot be used,
then
UL-listed
flexible
metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).
•
Never install
fl
e
xible
metal duct in walls, ceilings,
floors
or
other
enclosed spaces.
•
Total
length
of
fl
e
xible
metal duct
should
not e
xceed
8 feet
(2.4m).
•
For many applications, installing elbows at
both
the
dryer
and
the
wall is
highly
recommended (see illustrations). El-
bows allow
the
appliance to sit close to
the
wall
without
kinking
and or
crushing
the
transition duct,
maximizing
dry-
ing performance.
•
Av
oid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT
•
In special installations, it may be necessary to connect
the
dryer to
the
house
vent using a
fl
e
xible
metal (foil-type)
duct. A UL-listed
flexible
metal (foil-type) duct may be used
ONLY in installations
where
rigid metal or
fl
e
xible
metal
(semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND
where
a 4” diam-
eter can be maintained
th
r
oughout
the
entire
length
of
the
transition duct.
•
In Canada and
the
United States, only
the
fl
e
xible
metal
(foil-type) ducts
that
comply
with
the
"Outline for
Clothes
Dryer Transition Duct
Subject
2158A"
shall
be used.

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. W
ith
the
dryer in its permanent position,
extend
the
duct
to its full
length.
Allow 2” of duct to overlap
the
exhaust
pipe. C

straight
as possible for
maximum
airfl
ow.
4. Secure
