VENTING REQUIREMENTS
If an Exhaust Hood Cannot Be Used
The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.
* Minimum clearance above
any accumulation of snow,
ice, or debris such as leaves
If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than
through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least
610 mm (2 ft.) above surface of roof.
The opening in wall or roof should have a diameter 13 mm (1⁄2")
larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.

GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Make Gas Connection

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe.
2. Connect gas supply to dryer. If the flexible gas hose has
10 mm (3/8") BSP thread, use the supplied conversion thread
adapter. Use pipe-joint compound resistant to the action
of L.P. gas for gas connections.
If necessary, remove the two 1/4" hex head screws at the
bottom of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to
open.
IMPORTANT: See "Technical Specifications" for the
minimum gas pressure to operate the dryer.

Multiple Dryer Venting
A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The
main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM)
of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design
may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently.
The room where the dryers are located should have make-up
air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.
A Back-draft Damper may be available from your distributor
and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep
exhausted air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust
in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings
are required.
Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in
the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite
side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from
interfering with the other vents.
Air ow
The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should
be no more than 30°.
Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes
create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating
units, can damage dryers and items being dried.
A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for
periodic cleaning of the vent system.
3. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line.
4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show
a leak. Correct any leaks found.
