To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should
be
installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the exhaust ductwork travels vertically up through the
roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either
case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust

ductwork.

NOTE: Refer to the illustrations on page 17 for examples of multiple dryer (common) venting.
