a. Connecting Both Top Baskets (Tumblers) and Bottom Baskets (Tumblers) Together
Both the top basket (tumbler) and the bottom basket (tumbler) can “Y” together to form one (1)
connection point. The bottom basket (tumbler) already includes a 6-inch (15.24 cm) diameter ducting
extending to the lower back guard area. The minimum connection at this point is 8-inches (20.32 cm).
The upper basket (tumbler) includes no internal ductwork (not provided by
ADC
,
must be
purchased
elsewhere,
must be
a minimum of 6-inches [15.24 cm], and only to the top of the dryer). At this point,
(where the internal ducting ends at top of the dryer), the diameter
must be
increased to meet the
application as described further in this manual.
IMPORTANT:
When connecting ductwork to the top basket (tumbler) exhaust duct, be sure that
when screws are used they
DO NOT
restrict the operation (both opening and
closing) of the damper.
IMPORTANT: ALL
ductwork joints
must be
taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into
the dryer and/or building.
NOTE:
Common (“Y”) exhaust connections of the top basket (tumbler) and bottom basket (tumbler)
should be
installed in such a manner that the back guards/panels can be removed easily for
servicing.
IMPORTANT:
Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each basket (tumbler) exhaust
duct area
must be
no less than 0 and
must not exceed
0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water
column (W.C.) when both baskets (tumblers) are operating.
