C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be positioned approximately 2 feet (24-inches) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation, maintenance, and service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. The clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the front. A 2-inch (5.08 cm) clearance is required between the bulkhead facing and the top of the dryer.

NOTE: Bulkhead facing should not be installed until after the dryer is in place. Ceiling area must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer top console (module) and 18-inches (45.72 cm) for steam models.

NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 18-inches (45.72 cm) above the dryer console (module) is required. Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however, 1 or 2-inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) is suggested for ease of installation and maintenance. Allowances must be made for the opening and closings of the control door and the lint door.
