STANDARD OFFSET CONNECTIONS Using 4-inch heavy metal vent:

NOTE: Do not secure exhaust vent joints with screws. Screws can catch lint and

slow the drying process. Instead, use clamps to secure exhaust vent joints.

STEP 1. Install a 4-inch metal elbow on the hood and on the dryer exhaust outlet.

STEP 2. Measure the length of 4-inch metal vent needed to connect the two

elbows.

longer than your measurement in order to make a connection.
