Special
provisions for mobile home installations
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine
vent length
1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making
turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually to
avoid kinking. Avoid 90 ° turns when possible.
better
2. Determine vent length.
The maximum length of the exhaust system depends upon:
•
The type of vent (rigid metal or flexible metal).
•
The number of elbows used.
•
Type of hood.
Recommended
hood styles are shown here.
_
(1_'9"!m)
(10_2 era)
A. Louvered hood style
B. Box hood style
The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.
(6_4 era)
See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood
type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.
Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:
•
Shorten the life of the dryer.
•
Reduce performance,
resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
