Exhaust system requirements, continued
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Do not install the dryer where gasoline or
other fl ammables are kept or stored. If the
dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a
minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the fl oor.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
fi re or burns.
In installations where the exhaust system is not
described in the charts, the following method
must be used to determine if the exhaust system
is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer
between the dryer and the point the exhaust
connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fl uff
(cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be
higher than 1.0 inch of water column. If the
system back pressure is less than 1.0 inch of
water column, the system is acceptable. If
the manometer reading is higher than 1.0 inch
of water column, the system is too restrictive
and the installation is unacceptable.
Manufactured or mobile home installation
1. Installation MUST conform to current
Manufactured Home Construction & Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 (formerly
the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part
280) or Standard CAN/CSAZ240 MH.
2. Dryer MUST be exhausted outside (outdoors,
not beneath the mobile home) using metal
ducting that will not support combustion.
Metal ducting must be 4 inches (10.16 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions. Rigid metal duct
is preferred.
3. If dryer is exhausted through the fl oor and
area beneath the mobile home is enclosed,
the exhaust system MUST terminate outside
Installation Requirements
Install male fi ttings in correct direction:
CORRECT
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust
system is acceptable, certain extenuating
circumstances could aff ect the performance of
the dryer:
● Only the rigid metal duct work should be
used.
● Venting vertically through a roof may expose
the exhaust system to down drafts causing
an increase in vent restriction.
● Running the exhaust system through an
uninsulated area may cause condensation
and faster accumulation of lint.
● Compression or crimping of the exhaust
system will cause an increase in vent
restriction.
● The exhaust system should be inspected and
cleaned a minimum of every 18 months with
normal usage. The more the dryer is used,
the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.
the enclosure with the termination securely
fastened to a non-combustible portion of the
mobile home structure.
4. Refer to previous sections in this guide for
other important exhaust venting system
requirements.
5. When installing a gas dryer into a mobile
home, a provision must be made for outside
make up air. This provision is to be not less
than twice the area of the dryer exhaust
outlet.
6. Installer MUST anchor this (1) dryer or (2)
dryer mounted on pedestal to the fl oor with
approved Mobile Home Installation Kit - P/N
