1. Over-The-Top installation (also available with one

offset elbow)

2. Periscope installation

Terminate the exhaust vent outside. The exhaust vent must not

terminate beneath the mobile home and must not be connected

to any other duct, vent or chimney.

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.
