space, wall, ceiling, into an attic or other
concealed space of a building. The accumulated
lint could create a fire hazard.
• Provide an access for inspection
and cleaning
of the exhaust system, especially
at turns.
Inspect and clean at least once a year.

the exhaust into a common
duct with a kitchen exhaust. A combination
of lint and grease could create o fire hazard.

Terminate
in a manner to prevent back drafts or
entry of birds or other wildlife.
Termination
should present minimal resistance to
the exhaust airflow and should require little or no
maintenance
to prevent clogging.
Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above
ground level or any other obstruction
with the
opening pointed down.
If roof vents or Iouvered plenums are used, they
must be equivalent
to a 4" dampened
wall cap in
regard to resistance to airflow, prevention
of back
drafts and maintenance
required to prevent
clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
• For best performance,
separate
all turns by
at least 4 ft. of straight
duct, including
distance
between last turn and dampened
wall cap.
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male
end of each section of duct must point away
from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the ductwork
with fasteners
that extend into the duct. They will serve as
a collection
point for lint.
• Duct joints should be made air- and
moisture-tight
by wrapping
the overlapped
joints with duct tape or aluminum
tape.
• Horizontal
runs should slope down towards
the outdoors
1/4" per foot.
INSULATION
• Ductwork
that runs through
an unheated
area
or is near air conditioning
should be insulated
to reduce condensation
and lint buildup.
