Installation tips

–

For best drying results, avoid extra

long ducting with too many bends or

angles. Avoid ducting in tight

corners.

–

Use flexible metal pipe or rigid metal

pipe for venting. Non-metallic flexible

hose should not be used since it is a

potential fire hazard.

–

The shorter the exhaust ductwork,

the more efficient the dryer will be.

Expelled air is slowed down in the

ducts due to friction against the inner

walls. The shorter and smoother the

inner walls are, the less friction that

will be created.

An elbow or bend creates more

friction than a straight duct. An

additional duct length factor must

therefore be added for each elbow or

bend (see Table 1.) This factor

expresses the restistance of the

bend in terms of a straight length of

duct.

The additional length factor is then

added to the measured duct length

to give the effective duct length.

A larger duct diameter helps to

reduce friction. The duct diameter

should therefore be increased with

increasing duct length.
