DRYER VENTS CHECK YOUR DRYER MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS DRYER DUCT SHOULD NOT BE LONGER THAN 22 FEET. DEDUCT 5 FEET FOR EVERY 90-DEGREE BEND. TYPICALLY USE 4" GALVANIZED STEEL OR ALUMINUM SMOOTH VENT PIPE. FLEXIBLE METAL DUCTING IS O.K. FOR SHORT RUNS OR AWKWARD CORNERS BUT IT CAN TRAP LINT EASILY AND CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD. CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES. DRYER CAN BE DUCTED THROUGH ROOF OR WALL WITH SPECIAL VENT HOOD EQUIPPED WITH A SCREEN AND FLAP THAT OPENS ONLY WHEN DRYER IS EXHAUSTING. |
