Special
provisions
for mobile
home
installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Tenminate the exhaust vent outside.
Detennine
vent length
1.
Select the route that will provide the straightest
and most
direct path outdoors.
Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually
to avoid kinking. Avoid 90" turns when possible.

Detenmine
vent
length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
•
The type of
vent
(rigid metal or flexible metal).
•
The number of elbows .used.
•
Type
of hood.
Recommended
hood styles are shown here.

See the exhaust
vent
length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than specified will:
•
Shorten the life of the dryer.
•
Reduce pertonmance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased
energy
usage.
3.
Detenmine the number of elbows you will need.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use
vent
runs longer than those
specified in the Vent Length Chart.
The following chart helps you determine
your maximum
vent
length based on the number of 90' turns or elbows you will
need and the type of vent (rigid or fiexible metal) and hood
that you will use.

90' turn to the chart.
Install Vent System
1.
Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound
to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2.
Connect
vent
to exhaust hood. Vent must frt inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 em) ciamp.
3.
Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest
path possible.
See "Detenmine vent length." Avoid 90" turns. Use clamps to
seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening
devices that extend into the interior of the yent to secure
vent.
