aluminum tape.
All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.

must point away from the dryer.
Whether connecting to an existing
venting system or a new venting
system, make sure that all ducting is
clean and free of lint.

rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in

Note:
Side and bottom exhaust installations
have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To
determine maximum exhaust length,
add one 90° turn to the chart.
More than two 90° turns are not
recommended. For best performance,
separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of
straight duct, including distance
between last turn and exhaust hood.
Exhaust vent hood
The exhaust duct must end with an
approved exhaust vent hood with
swing out damper(s). DO NOT use an
exhaust vent hood with magnetic
latches.
To avoid exhaust restriction, the outlet
must be a minimum of 12 inches (30
cm) above ground level or any other
obstructing surface.
