It is suggested that the duct work from each dryer (minimum of 12-inches [30.48 cm] for a single dryer)
not
exceed
15 feet (4.57 meters) with no more than three (3) elbows (including dryer connection). If the duct
work exceeds 15 feet (4.57 meters) or has numerous elbows, the cross-sectional area of the duct work
must be
increased in proportion to the length and number of elbows in it. In calculating duct size, the cross-
sectional area of a square or rectangular duct
must be
increased twenty percent (20%) for each additional
20 feet (6.09 meters). The diameter of a round exhaust duct
should be
increased ten percent (10%) for
each additional 15 feet (4.57 meters). Each 90º elbow is equivalent to an additional 30 feet (9.14 meters),
and each 45º elbow is equivalent to an additional 15 feet (4.57 meters).
IMPORTANT:
For extended duct work runs, the cross section area of the duct work can only be
increased to an extent. When the duct work approaches the maximum limits as noted
in this manual, a professional heating venting air conditioning (HVAC) firm
should be
consulted for proper venting information.
ALL
duct work
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
duct work 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 duct work for periodic inspection and
clean-out of lint from the duct work.
