Dryer Exhaust Requirements Exhaust System Materials
Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is
recommended. Non-combustible flexible metal duct is
acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or thin foil ducting,
because it contributes to poor drying performance and
collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.
Never install flexible duct in concealed spaces, such as
a wall or ceiling.
DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints
or other fastening means which extend into the duct
that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the
exhaust system. Secure all duct joints with duct tape.
Make-Up Air Requirements
For proper operation it is important that you locate the
dryer in an area that has an ample amount of make-up
air to replace the amount exhausted by the dryer.
A dryer exhausts 220 cfm (measured at back of dryer).
Energy efficient homes with low air infiltration rates
should be equipped with an air exchanger that can
accommodate on demand make-up air needs in the
home. These devices can be obtained through your
building contractor or building material suppliers.
