14 INSTALLATION
Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the
closet. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm
2 ) must be installed no lower
than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm 2 ) must
be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grilles in the door or cut down the door at
the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also
acceptable.
NOTE
• There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer
of vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to
make noise or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet, with Stacked Washer and Dryer
