The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will

help achieve best drying performance.

Special provisions for mobile homes:

Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible

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.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best

drying performance:

Use the following “Vent System Chart” to determine type of vent

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specied

in “Vent System Chart.”

Exhaust systems longer than those specied will:

n Shorten life of dryer.

n Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times

and increased energy usage.
