2. Single Dryer Venting
When possible, it is suggested to provide a separate exhaust duct for each dryer. The exhaust duct should
be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns
as possible. It is suggested that the use of 90° turns in the ducting
be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° angles
instead. The shape of the exhaust ductwork
is not critical as long as the minimum cross section area is
provided.
NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be
constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in
strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26
gauge (0.0195 inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”
