Special provisions for mobile home installations:

The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion

of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile

home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path:

■ Select route that will provide straightest and most direct path

outdoors.

■ Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.

■ When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

■ Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

■ Use as few 90° turns as possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying

performance:

■ Use 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:

■ Shorten life of dryer.

■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will help

achieve best drying performance.

path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not

use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices that extend into

interior of vent to secure vent, because they can catch lint.
