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.

Alternate installations for close clearances
Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for
your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
A. Over-the-top installation (also available with one
offset elbow)
B. Periscope installation
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
• Use the Vent system chart below 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.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help
to achieve the best drying performance.
