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 CLOTHES DRYER
TRANSITION DUCT
•
If rigid metal cannot be used, then UL-LISTED flexible
metal clothes dryer transition duct (GE Appliances
part – PM08X10085) can be used.
•
Never install transition duct in walls, ceilings, floors or
other enclosed spaces.
•
Total length of transition duct should not exceed
8’ (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 home exhaust vent using flexible metal
(foil-type) transition duct. UL–LISTED universal flexible
dryer transition duct (GE Appliances parts – PM8X73
or WX8X73) may be used ONLY in installations where
rigid metal or flexible metal transition 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 transition ducts that
comply with “UL 2158A STANDARD FOR CLOTHES DRYER
TRANSITION DUCT” shall be used
.
•
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.
