Special provisions for mobile home
installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to
a noncombustible portion of the mobile home
structure and must not terminate beneath the
mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent out-
side.
Determine vent path
• Select the route that will provide the
straightest and most direct path outdoors.
• Plan the installation to use the fewest num-
ber of elbows and turns.
• When using elbows or making turns, allow
as much room as possible.
• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
• Use the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed
for best drying performance
• Use one of the following Vent system
charts to determine type of vent material
and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than
those specified in the Vent system charts.
Exhaust systems longer than those speci-
fied will:
• Shorten the life of the dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer
drying times and increased energy usage.
