DRYER EXHAUST TIPS
Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air
easily.
2. Use 4” diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at
the dryer.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.
4. Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.
Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely.
Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.
Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:
1. Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
2. Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
3. Unnecessarily using long ducts that have many
elbows.
4. Allowing crushed or clogged ducts and vent.
