Alternate installations for close clearances Determine r Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. vent path and most Select the route that will provide the straightest direct path outdoors. Plan the installation turns. to use the fewest number of elbows and When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. Use the fewest 90 ° turns possible. Determine vent length drying performance and elbows needed for best • B A A. Over-the-top installation (also available with one offset elbo_ B.

Terminate the exhaust vent outside. Use the 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 specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified will: • • Shorten the life of the dryer. Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage. The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance. Vent system chart 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.
