NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90°
turn inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length,
add one 90° turn to the chart.
For closet installation, with a door, the minimum ventilation openings in the top
and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent air ventilation
openings are acceptable.
Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. Use the fewest 90° turns
possible. Do not use vent runs longer than specified in
vent length chart. Determine the number of elbows you
will need.
