IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).

IMPORTANT: Minimum ductwork diameter for horizontal venting is 10-inches (25.4 cm) and for vertical venting the minimum is 12-inches (30.48 cm).

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.

a.Outside Ductwork Protection

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

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

2.Single Dryer Venting

Where possible, it is suggested to provide a separate exhaust duct for each dryer. The exhaust duct 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. It is suggested that the use of 90° turns in the ducting be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° angles instead. The shape of the exhaust ductwork is not critical so long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided.

IMPORTANT: Minimum duct size for a dryer that is vented horizontally is 10-inches (25.4 cm) for a round duct or an equivalent of 80 square inches (516.3 square centimeters). THE

DUCT SIZE MUST NOT BE REDUCED ANYWHERE DOWNSTREAM OF THE DRYER.

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less

than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column.
