EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)
CONNECTING THE DRYER TO
HOUSE VENT
RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT
• For best drying performance, a rigid metal
transition duct is recommended.
• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of
crushing and kinking.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID)
TRANSITION DUCT
• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed
flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used
(Kit WX08X10077).
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings,
floors or other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not
exceed 8 feet (2.4 m).
• For many applications, installing elbows at both
the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see
illustrations at right). Elbows allow the dryer to sit
close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing
the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE)
TRANSITION DUCT
• In special installations, it may be necessary to
connect the dryer to the house vent using a flexible
metal (foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal
(foil-type) duct may be used ONLY in installations
where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid)
ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter
can be maintained throughout the entire length
of the transition duct.
• In Canada and the United States, only the flexible
metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline
for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A"
shall be used.
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings,
floors or other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not
exceed 8 feet (2.4 m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• For best drying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes
dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position,
extend the duct to its full length. Allow 2" of
duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and
remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight
as possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the
other clamp.
