Exhaust Requirements
WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork
causes excess back pressure which
results in slow drying, lint collecting in the
duct, lint blowing back into the room, and
increased fire hazard.
Exhaust ducts shall be constructed of sheet metal
or other noncombustible material. Such ducts must
be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance
to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than
0.0195 inch (0.495 mm) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall
or ceiling, provide an opening with a diameter 4 inches
(102 mm) larger than the diameter of the exhaust duct.
Center duct in the opening. When ducts pass through
walls, ceilings, floors or partitions, the space around
the duct shall be sealed with noncombustible material.
Refer to Figure 12.
NOTE: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, provide
an individual exhaust duct for each tumbler. Do not
install a hot water heater in a room containing
tumblers. It is better to have the water heater in a
separate room with a separate air inlet.
