The maximum length using a 2” x 6” (5.1 cm x 15.2 cm) rectangular
duct with 2 elbows and a 2-112” (6.4 cm) exhaust hood is 5 ft. (2.4 ml.
Maximum length of exhaust system
depends upon the type of duct used,
number of elbows and type of exhaust
hood. The maximum length for both
rigid and flexible duct is shown in the
chart.
For exhaust systems not covered by
the exhaust length chart, check with
your dealer or distributor for
information.
Service check: The back pressure in
any exhaust system must not exceed
0.6 inches of water column measured
with an inclined manometer at the
point that the exhaust duct connects
to the dryer.
Exhausting the dryer outside is
recommended. A drver installed in a

bathroom or closet, must be exhausted
to the outside. (Check governing
codes and ordinances.) Recessed
installation that is not exhausted
outside must use Exhaust Deflector Part
No. 603197 available from your dealer.
See “Recessed and closet installation
instructions.“, Page 10, for adequate
unobstructed air opening
requirements.
An exhaust hood should cap the
exhaust duct to prevent exhausted air
from returning into the dryer. The outlet
of the hood must

Four-inch outlet hood is preferred.
However, a 2-l/2-inch outlet exhaust
hood may be used. A 2-l/2-inch outlet
creates greater back pressure than
other hood types.
For permanent installation, a stationary
exhaust system is required.
Mobile home installation
This appliance is suitable for mobile
home installations. The installation of
the dryer must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Homes Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD Part 280) or the latest
edition.
Mobile home exhaust requirements:
The dryer must have an outside
exhaust. If the dryer is exhausted
through the floor and the area under
the mobile home is enclosed, the
exhaust system must terminate outside
the enclosed area. Extension beyond
the enclosure will prevent lint and
moisture buildup under the mobile
home.
