Dryer Exhaust Requirements

WARNING

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. To reduce the risk of fire and combustion gas accumulation the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

W116

To reduce the risk of fire and the accumulation of combustion gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well, gas vent, chimney or enclosed, unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or concealed space of a building.

W045

To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic or thin foil ducting to exhaust the dryer.

W354

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust duct must be 10.2 cm (4 inches) in diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic or thin foil ducting because it contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.

Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as a wall or ceiling.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape. Use as few elbows as possible.

Make-Up Air Requirements

For proper operation it is important that you locate the dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.

Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates should be equipped with an air exchanger that can accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the home. These devices can be obtained through your building contractor or building material suppliers.

Exhaust Direction

The dryer can be exhausted to the outdoors through the back, left, right or bottom of the dryer.

Dryer is shipped from factory ready for rear exhaust; no kits required.

Exhausting the dryer through sides or bottom can be accomplished by installing a DK1 Sales Accessory (Directional Exhaust Kit 528P3) available as optional equipment at extra cost.
