E.EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS

1.General Exhaust Ductwork Information

Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

CAUTION: DRYER MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS.

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.

The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. The shape of the ductwork is not critical so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided.

It is suggested that the use of 90º turns be avoided; use 30º or 45º angles instead.

The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from the sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Additionally, inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning.

IMPORTANT: When connecting ductwork to the dryer’s top basket (tumbler) exhaust ductwork, be sure that when screws are used they DO NOT restrict the operation (both opening and closing) of the damper.

NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening.

To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90º elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180º turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.

NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 0.0195-inches (26 gauge [0.05 mm]) thick.”

WDA-530D II, ADG-530D II specifications

American Dryer Corp (ADC) has long been a leader in the manufacturing of high-performance commercial laundry equipment.
