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 outside.

Determine vent path:

Select route that will provide straightest and most direct path

■

outdoors.

Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.

■

When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room

■

as possible.

Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

■

Use as few 90° turns as possible.

■

Determine vent length and elbows needed for

best drying performance:

Use following "Vent System Chart" to determine type of vent

■

material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified

in "Vent System Chart." Exhaust systems longer than those

specified will:

Shorten life of dryer.

■

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

■

increased energy usage.

The "Vent System Chart" provides venting requirements that

will help achieve best drying performance.
