No more than 4 dryers should be connected to 1
main common duct.
The illustration below shows the minimum cross-sectional
area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These figures
must be increased if the main duct run from the last dryer to
where it exhausts to the outdoors is longer than 12 feet (3.66
meters) or has more than 1 elbow in it.
!
NOTE 1 Opening from combustible materials must be 2-inches (5.08 cm)
larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered
within this opening.
NOTE 2 Distance should be 2 times the diameter of the duct to the nearest
obstruction.

Each dryer should be connected to an independently protected
branch circuit. The dryer must be connected with copper
wire only. Do not use aluminum wire, which could cause a
fire hazard. The copper conductor wire/cable must be of proper
ampacity and insulation in accordance with electric codes
for making all service connections.
Note
The use of aluminum wire will void the warranty.
An individual ground circuit must be provided to
each dryer, do not daisy chain.
Component failure due to improper voltage application will
void the warranty.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in
specifications at any time without notice or obligation.
Important
A separate protected circuit must be provided to
each dryer.
The dryer must be connected to the electric supply shown
on the data label. In the case of 208 VAC or 240 VAC, the
supply voltage must match the electric service
specifications of the data label exactly.
Important
The wire size must be properly sized to handle the
related current.
