Installation Instructions
If rigid all-metal duct cannot be used, then flexible all-metal
venting can be used, but it will reduce the maximum
recommended duct length. In special installations when it is
impossible to make connection with the above recommendations,
then UL-listed clothes dryer transition duct may be used as
transition venting between the dryer and wall connection only. The
use of this ducting will affect dry time.
If flexible transition duct is necessary, the following directions must
be followed.
• Use the Shortest Length Possible.
• Stretch the Duct to Its Maximum Length.
• Do Not Crush or Collapse.
• Never Use Transition Duct Inside the Wall or
Inside the Dryer.
• Avoid Resting the Duct on Sharp Objects.
• Venting Must Conform to Local Building Codes.
