portion of mobile home and must not terminate beneath the
mobile home. Terminate exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
n
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
n
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
n
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
n
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
n
Use as few 90° turns as possible.
