home is enclosed, the exhaust system MUST terminate outside the
enclosure with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home
structure.

4.When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a provision must be

made for outside make up air. This provision is to be not less than twice
the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

& Safety Standard (which is a Federal Regulation Title 24 CFR-Part 32-
80) or when such standard is not applicable, with American National
Standard for Mobile Homes. In Canada, the CSA Z240 is applicable.
