approximately two (2) feet (24-inches) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation,
maintenance, and service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. The
clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of four (4) inches and must not
extend more than four (4) inches to the rear of the front. A 2-inch clearance is required between the bulkhead
facing and the top of the dryer.
NOTE: Bulkhead facing should not be installed until after the dryer is in place. Ceiling area must be
located a minimum of 12-inches above the dryer top console (module) and 18-inches for steam
models.
