The Exhaust Duct should end
with an exhaust hood to prevent
exhausted air returning i%o dryer.
The outlet of the hood must be
at leasi 12Inches from the grwnd
or anylhing else that may be in
the path of the exhaust.
A 2K Inch outlet Exhaust Hood
should be used with short systems
only. Thisoutlet creates greater
backward pressure than other
hood types.
Exhaust Hoods with magnetic
latches should not be used
The Maxlmum Lenglh of the
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 isshown in chart.
Exhaust Systems longer than
specified will:
