CONNECTING THE DRYER
TO HOUSE VENT
RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT
* For best dxying perfk_rmance, a rigid metal transition
duct is recommended.
* Rigid metal transitions ducts reduce the risk of crush-
ing 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 (2.4m).
* For many applications, installing elbows at both the
diyer and the wall is highly recommended (see illustra-
tions below). Elbows allow the d_yer to sit close to the
wall without kinking and or crushing the transition
duct, maximizing d,ying perf_rmance.
* Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT
* In special installations, it may be necessai T to connect
the d_Ter to the hot_se vent using a flexible metal (fkfil-
type) dt_ct. A UL-listed flexible metal (fkfil-type)dt_ct
may be t]sed ONIX in installations where rigid metal or
flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducfing cannot be used AND
where a 4" diameter can be maintained throughout the
entire length of the transition dt_ct.
* In Canada and the United States, only the flexible
metal (f_il-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline f_r
Clothes D_yer 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 (2.4m).
*Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
*For best drying perf_rmance:
]. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer
outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the d_yer in its permanent position, extend the
duct to its fifll length. Allow 9" of duct to overlap the
exhaust pipe. Cut offand remove excess duct. Kee I)
the duct as straight as possible t_r maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other
clamp.
