This could cause lint build up.• Wall caps must be installed at least 12 in. above ground level or any otherobstruction with the opening pointed down.SEPARATION OF TURNSFor best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct,including distance between last turn and exhaust hood.TURNS OTHER THAN 90º• One turn of 45º or less may be ignored.• Two 45º turns should be treated as one 90º turn.• Each turn over 45º should be treated as one 90º turn.SEALING OF JOINTS• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section ofduct must point away from the dryer.• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct.They will serve as a collection point for lint.• Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping theoverlapped joints with duct tape.• Horizontal runs should slope down toward the outdoors ½ inch per footINSULATIONDuct work that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioningshould be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.6 EXHAUST INFORMATIONWARNING - IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITEDIS 4 IN (102mm).
