Exhaust Requirements
Layout
Whenever possible, install tumble dryers along an
outside wall where duct length can be kept to a
minimum, and make-up air can be easily accessed.
Construction must not block the airflow at the rear of
the tumble dryer. Doing so would prevent adequate air
supply to the tumble dryer combustion chamber.
Make-Up Air
A tumble dryer is forced air exhausted and requires
provisions for make-up air to replace air exhausted by
tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict
airflow. The opening must be increased to compensate
for area taken up by louvers.
Make-up air openings in rooms containing tumble
dryer(s) and/or gas fired hot water heater or other
gravity vented appliances must be increased
sufficiently to prevent downdrafts in any of the vents
when all tumble dryers are in operation. Do not locate
gravity vented appliances between tumble dryer(s) and
make-up air openings. If it is necessary to duct make-
up air to tumble dryer(s), increase area of duct work by
25% to compensate for restrictions in air movement.
Venting
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint
collectors will cause increased static pressure.
Failure to maintain the secondary lint system will
decrease tumble dryer efficiency and may void
machine warranty.
For maximum efficiency and minimum lint
accumulation, tumble dryer air must be exhausted to
the outdoors by the shortest possible route.
Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper
operation. All elbows should be sweep type. Exhaust
ducts must be assembled so the interior surfaces are
smooth, so the joints do not permit the accumulation
of lint. DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or Type B ducts -
rigid metal ducts are recommended. Use exhaust ducts
made of sheet metal or other noncombustible material.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws or fasteners on
exhaust pipe joints which extend into the duct and
catch lint. Use of duct tape or pop-rivets on all seams
and joints is recommended, if allowed by local codes.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before
installing new tumble dryer(s).
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of sheet
metal or other noncombustible material. Such
ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion
resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel
not less than 0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes. The
space around the duct may be sealed with noncombustible
material. Refer to Figure 15 .

WARNING
A drying tumble dryer produces
combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire,
the tumble dryer must be exhausted to the
outdoors.
W057R1
To reduce the risk of fire and accumulation
of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust
tumble dryer air into a window well, gas
vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated
area such as an attic wall, ceiling, crawl
space under a building, or concealed
space of a building.
W059R1
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased
static pressure, we do not recommend
installation of in-line secondary lint filters
or lint collectors. If secondary systems
are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
W749
WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork
causes excess back pressure which
results in slow drying, lint collecting in
the duct, lint blowing back into the room,
and increased fire hazard.
