DRYER EXHAUST TIPS
Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
1. Let your dryer exhaust the air easily.
2. Use a 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 that 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. Using unnecessarily long duct runs with many
elbows.
4. Allowing crushed or clogged ducts and vent.
