Installation Instructions
EXHAUST (CONT.)
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
NOTE:
The male end of each section of duct must point
away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble ductwork with fasteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection
point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air- and moisture-tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.
INSULATION
• Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is
near an air conditioning duct should be insulated to
reduce condensation and lint buildup.
