EXAMPLE: For a bank of four dryers, two unrestricted
openings measuring 10-inches by 6-inches (25.4 cm by 15.24
cm) are acceptable.
IMPORTANT:
Make-up air must be free of dry cleaning
solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry
cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to
the motors and other dryer components.
Exhaust Requirements _______________
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a
qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create
excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying,
increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the
burner hi-limits or blower housing hi-limit protector thermostat.
The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct
connection to the outside.
The dryer shall not be exhausted into any gas vent, chimney,
wall, ceiling or concealed space of a building.
The design of the flue system shall be such that any
condensate formed when operating the appliance from cold
shall either be retained and subsequently re-evaporated or
discharged.
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and
must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Improperly sized or installed exhaust ductwork can
create a potential fire hazard.
A = 10-inches (25.4 cm)
B = 6-inches (15.24 cm)
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over
the openings, this area must be increased by approximately
33%. Make-up air openings should not be located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located at high altitudes
or predominantly low pressure areas.
NOTE:
Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent
fumes will void the warranty.
The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the
ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with
as few turns as possible. There should be a minimum
6-inch (15.24 cm) clearance between the back guard and
the first bend in the ductwork for ease of servicing. Single or
independent dryer venting is recommended. It is suggested
that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° bends
instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be
1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. All ductwork should be
smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws
or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding
ducts, overlap the duct being connected. All ductwork joints
must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping
into the building. Back draft dampers must be installed in all
commonly ducted systems. Inspection doors should be
installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for
periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that exhaust or booster
fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.
Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer/
magnehelic in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and
must not exceed 0.6 in WC (1.48 mb).
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.
As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for
type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or
other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be
equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts
made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge
(0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”
The ductwork for this appliance must be suitable for the
appliance category in accordance with national installation
regulations of the country of destination.
Outside Ductwork Protection
To protect the outside end of the 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 (refer
to the diagram).
IMPORTANT:
Do not use screens, louvers, or caps on the
outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
Single Dryer Venting
IMPORTANT:
For extended ductwork runs, the cross-
sectional area of the ductwork can only be increased to an
extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum
limits as noted in this manual, a professional HVAC firm
should be consulted for proper venting information.
