Rigid metal vent
■
For best drying performance, rigid metal vents are recommended.
■
Rigid metal vent is recommended to avoid crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent
■
Flexible metal vents are acceptable only if accessible for cleaning.
■
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final
location.
■
Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in
reduced airflow and poor performance.
■
Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors.
Elbows
45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.
Clamps
■
Use clamps to seal all joints.
■
Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices
that extend into the interior of the duct. Do not use duct tape.
Exhaust
Recommended hood styles are shown here.
The angled hood style (shown here) is acceptable.
■
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.
■
Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in
the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).
■
