C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer's outer top; 18-inches (45.72 cm) for steam dryers, except along the front
of the dryer which may be closed if desired.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
Dryers may be positioned side wall to side wall. However, a 1/16" (1.59 mm) minimum allowance must be made
for opening and closing of the control door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters)
away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the
back guard). Refer to the illustration above for details.
