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 the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors.

Plan the installation to use the 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 the fewest 90° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best

drying performance

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will

help to achieve the best drying performance.

Vent system chart

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one

90º turn to the chart.

1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust

3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.

Use the 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

the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those

specified will:

Shorten the life of the dryer.

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.
