Special provisions for mobile home installations:
The exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible
portion of the mobile home structure and must not terminate
beneath the mobile home. Terminate the exhaust vent outside.
Determine vent path:
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
Ƀ
path outdoors.
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
Ƀ
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
Ƀ
as possible.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Ƀ
Use as few 90° turns as possible.
