IMPORTANT
: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be
increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits noted in
this manual, a professional heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) firm
should
be
consulted for proper venting information.
ALL
ductwork
should be
smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions,
which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be
connected.
ALL
ductwork joints
must be
taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building.
Inspection doors
should be
installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and
cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
NOTE
: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible
materials, the opening
must be
2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (
ALL
the way around).
The duct
must be
centered within this opening.
a. Outside Ductwork Protection
1) To protect the outside end of horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward
should be
installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up
through the roof, it
should be
protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening
downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening
and the nearest obstruction.
IMPORTANT
:
DO NOT
use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust
ductwork.
