Special provisions for mobile home installations:
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion
of the mobile home structure and must not terminate beneath the mobile
home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct path
■
outdoors.
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
■
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.
■
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■
Use as few 90° turns as possible.
■
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying
performance:
Use following "Vent System Chart" to determine type of vent
■
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in "Vent
System Chart." Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:
Shorten life of dryer.
■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
■
increased energy usage.
The "Vent System Chart" provides venting requirements that will help
achieve best drying performance.
