Sealing of joints
■ ■
All joints must be tightly sealed to avoid leaks.
■ ■
The male end of each section of duct must be installed away from the dryer.
■ ■
Do not use screws or fasteners that extend into the duct to secure the joint as lint will
accumulate around these, creating a potential fire hazard.
■ ■
Joints should be made air- and moisture-tight by securing the overlapped joints with duct tape,
or aluminum tape.
■ ■
Horizontal duct runs should slope down towards the outdoors 1/4” (6 mm) per foot.
Insulation
■ ■
Ducting that is directed through an unheated area or is near air conditioning should be insulated
in order to reduce condensation and lint build-up.
Connecting the dryer to the house vent
Rigid metal duct
■ ■
The use of a rigid metal ducting is recommended for best drying performance.
■ ■
The risk of crushing and kinking of the duct is reduced when using this duct material.
UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid) transition duct
■ ■
If rigid metal duct is not appropriate, a UL-approved flexible metal (semi-rigid) duct material can
be used (kit WC572D559P006).
■ ■
Do not install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.
■ ■
Flexible metal duct should not exceed 8 feet (2.4 m) in total.
■ ■
Installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended. An elbow allows the
dryer to be positioned close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing the transition duct, and
maximizes the performance of the dryer.
■ ■
Do not rest the ducting on sharp materials and objects.
