C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
twelve (12) inches (30.48 cm) (18-inches [45.72 cm] or more is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance,
and service) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be partially closed in if
desired. The clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm)
and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the front. The bulkhead facing must not be
closed in ALL the way to the top of the dryer. A 1-inch (2.54 cm) clearance is required.
NOTE: Allowance must be made for opening the control door.
Dryers may be positioned side wall to side wall. However, a 1/16” (0.16 cm) minimum allowance must be made
for the opening and closing of the control doors. 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.
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
