Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil transition

duct and replace with UL listed transition duct.

The 0$;,080$//2:$%/( duct length and number of

bends of the exhaust system depends upon the type of

duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap),

and all conditions noted below. The maximum duct length

for rigid metal duct is shown in the table below.

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or

other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust air

ÀRZDQGVKRXOGUHTXLUHOLWWOHRUQRPDLQWHQDQFHWRSUHYHQWFORJJLQJ

• 1HYHU install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. This could cause

lint build up.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level or any

other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight

duct, including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90º

• One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.

• Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.

• Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section

of duct must point away from the dryer.

• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the

duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.

• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the

overlapped joints with duct tape.

•

Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors 1/4

inch per foot.

INSULATION

Duct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air

conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint

build-up.

• For every extra 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent system

length by 10 ft.

• Two 45° elbows will be treated like one 90° elbow.

• For the side exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the

chart.

• The total vent system length includes all the straight portions

and elbows of the system (transition duct included).
