Installation Instructions WARNING USE ONLY METAL DUCT 4″ DIAMETER (102 mm FOR CANADA). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE. Ducting longer than 150 equivalent feet will: • Increase the drying times and the energy cost. • Reduce the dryer life. • Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard. • Total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 7.9′ (2.4 m). EXAMPLE ONLY The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation. The correct exhaust installation is your responsibility. Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty. The length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns and the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length should not exceed 150 equivalent feet. DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT RIGID NUMBER EQUIVALENT LENGTH X USED = LENGTH Rigid Metal 1 Ft. X (4) = 4 Ft.
