GE UPVH880 Example only, USE only Metal Duct 4″ Diameter 102 mm, Equivalent, Duct Pieces

Installation Instructions

WARNING

USE ONLY METAL DUCT 4″ DIAMETER (102 mm

FOR CANADA). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Ducting longer than 150 equivalent feet will:

•Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

•Reduce the dryer life.

•Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

•Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7.9′ (2.4 m).

The correct exhaust installation is your responsibility.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.

The length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns and the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. Both rigid and flexible metal ducts are shown in the table.

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length should not exceed 150 equivalent feet.
