EXHAUSTING
The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed
space of a building.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.
Refer to the “
Ducting requirements

number of bends.
