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. Temninate the exhaust vent outside.

Determine Vent Length
1. Select the route that will provide the straightest and most

direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest
number of elbows and turns. When using elbows or making

turns, allow as much room as possible. Bend vent gradually
to avoid kinking. Avoid 90° turns.

■ The number of elbows used.

■ Type of hood.
