UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) transition duct
Connecting the dryer to the house vent using flexible metal (foil-type) duct maybe required in
some installations. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct can ONLY be used where:
rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used, AND
a 4" (102 mm) diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.
Only flexible metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the requirements of the "Outline for
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct Subject UL 2158A", shall be used in the United States and Canada.
Do not install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.
Flexible metal duct shall not exceed 8 feet (2.4 m) in total.
Do not rest the ducting on sharp materials and objects.
To ensure the best performance of flexible metal (semi-rigid and foil type) transition duct:
Slide one end of the duct over the exhaust outlet pipe at the back of the dryer.
1
Secure the duct to the pipe with a clamp.
2
Move the dryer to its final position.
3
Extend the duct to its full length. Allow 2" (51 mm) of duct to overlap the house exhaust
4
outlet pipe. Cut off and remove the unwanted duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for
maximum airflow.
Secure the duct to the house exhaust outlet pipe with a clamp.
