Keep air openlngs free ot dry- cleaning fluld fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heatlng unlts, can damage dryers and loads being drled.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main exhaust duct for periodlcally cleaning the exhaust system.

An exhaust hood should cap the outside end of the main duct to prevent exhausted air from returning to the dryers. If an exhaust hood cannot be used, the outside end of the main duct should have a sweep elbow directed downward. If the main duct travels vertically through the roof rather than through the wall, install 180” sweep elbow on the end of duct at least 61 cm (2 feet) above the highest part of the building. The opening wall or roof shall have a diameter 1.3 cm (l/2 inch) larger than the exhaust duct diameter. The exhaust duct should be centered in the opening.
