The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow
directed downward.

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 shall have a diameter 13 mm (1⁄2")
larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centred in opening.
Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.

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.

DRYER GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

(ALL PIPING IS TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 5601.1 – GAS INSTALLATIONS)
DRYER VENTING REQUIREMENTS
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.
Unobstructed air openings are required for make up combustion
air. A static opening of 24 square inches (1 inch
of burner) is the minimum required for each dryer in operation.
A common opening may be used if the return air is distributed
equally to all dryers in operation.
Back-draft Damper Kit is 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.
If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty
knife to press on the two toe panel locks located at the top
of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open.
Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.
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.
