Ducting  
How to calculate the effective  
duct length  
Note:  
Maximum effective duct lengths:  
4" (100 mm) diameter  
5" (125 mm) diameter  
6" (150 mm) diameter  
66 ft (20 m)  
131 ft (40 m)  
328 ft (100 m)  
The overall duct length will determine  
the duct diameter (see the "Additional  
duct lengths" table). In Canada the  
exhaust duct must be 4" (102 mm) in  
diameter.  
If using flexible metal duct the total  
length must not exceed 7' 10" (2.4 m).  
^ Measure the actual duct length  
needed to go from the dryer’s  
See the "Additional duct lengths"  
table for more information on  
maximum duct lengths and number  
of bends.  
exhaust connection to the vent outlet:  
1. Establish the number of elbows or  
bends necessary, noting the type of  
bend, angle and radius involved  
(see the "Additional duct lengths"  
table).  
Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m)  
require a larger duct diameter.  
Longer ducts may lead to decreases in  
dryer efficiency if the next larger duct  
diameter is not followed.  
2. Add the additional duct length (as  
derived by using the values  
specified in the "Additional duct  
lengths" table) to the actual duct  
length to get the effective length.

Ducting  
Tips about the ductwork  
– Do not assemble the duct with  
screws or other fastening devices  
that extend into the duct and catch  
lint.  
– Check with your local building code  
to determine the maximum allowable  
duct length.  
– The shorter the exhaust ductwork,  
the more efficient the dryer will be.  
Expelled air is slowed down in the  
ducts due to friction against the inner  
walls. The shorter and smoother the  
inner walls are, the less friction will  
be created.  
– Only use rigid or flexible metal duct  
for exhausting. Non-metallic flexible  
hose should not be used, it is a  
potential fire hazard.  
– Rigid metal or flexible aluminum  
ducting is preferred. Flexible foil  
ducting may move and bounce due  
to the high airflow of the dryer. This  
could lead to a thumping or grinding  
noise.  
– An elbow or bend creates more  
friction than a straight duct. An  
additional duct length factor must be  
added for each elbow or bend (see  
Table). This factor expresses the  
resistance of the bend in terms of a  
straight length of duct.  
– Non-metallic flexible hose should not  
be used. It is a potential fire hazard.  
– In the United Stated foil-type flexible  
ducts should only be used if  
identified for use by the manufacturer  
as compliant with the Outline for  
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,  
Subject ANSI/UL 2158A.  
The additional length factor is then  
added to the existing duct to give the  
effective duct length.  
A larger duct diameter helps to  
reduce friction. Therefore duct  
diameter should be increased if  
longer duct lengths are required.  
In Canada, only flexible metal  
(foil-type) ducts specifically identified  
for use by the manufacturer should  
be used.  
– For best drying results avoid extra  
long ducting with too many bends,  
angles or tight corners.
