American Dryer Corp ML-78 installation manual Reduced Anywhere Down Stream of the Dryer

Page 21

IMPORTANT: Minimum duct size for a dryer that is vented vertically is 12-inches for a round duct or an equivalent of 120 square inches. THE DUCT SIZE MUST NOT BE

REDUCED ANYWHERE DOWN STREAM OF THE DRYER.

IMPORTANT: For extended duct work runs, the cross section area of the duct work can only be increased to an extent. When the duct work approaches the maximum limits noted in this manual, a professional heating venting air conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.

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

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

a.Outside Duct Work Protection

1)To protect the outside end of horizontal duct work from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the duct work 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 or caps on the outside of opening of exhaust duct work.
