CONNECTING
THE DRYERTO HOUSE VENT
DO
RIGID METAL TRANSITION
DUCT
• For best drying
performance,
a rigid metal transition
duct is
recommended.
• Rigid metal transitions
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
(2.4m).
• For many applications,
installing
elbows at both the dryer
and the wall is highly recommended
(see illustrations).
El-
bows allow the appliance
to sit close to the wall without
kinking and or crushing
the transition
duct, maximizing
dry-
ing 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" diam-
eter 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
(2.4m).
• 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.
