Whirlpool 8577213C Multiple Dryer Venting, If an exhaust hood cannot be used

Multiple Dryer Venting

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. Main vent should be sized to remove 200 CFM of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in the main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than the CFM of all the dryers in the room.

Back-draft Damper Kits, Part No. 3391910, are available from your Whirlpool dealer and should be installed in each dryer's vent to prevent exhausted air from returning into the dryers and to keep the exhaust in balance within the main vent. Unobstructed air openings are required.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30°.

Do not install screening or cap over the end of the vent.

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and loads being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.
