Vent System Chart (Long Vent Models)
Number of 90°
turns or elbows
Type of vent Box/louvered or
Angled hoods
0 Rigid metal 160 ft (48.8 m)
1 Rigid metal 150 ft (45.7 m)
2 Rigid metal 140 ft (42.7 m)
3 Rigid metal 130 ft (39.6 m)
4 Rigid metal 120 ft (36.6 m)
5 Rigid metal 110 ft (33.5 m)
To determine if your model has a long vent system, refer to the
type code located on the serial number plate in the inner door
well. Example: A Long Vent Model would be BJAV-NAT-
XXXXXXX-XXX or BWFB-NAT-XXXXXXX-XXX.
NOTE: For long vent systems, use of box/louvered hoods will
improve venting regardless of length.
Additional Elbows
In cases in which the Installation Instructions do not address the
vent length for the specific number of elbows required for a
particular application, the following calculations may be used.
(The total vent system length includes all straight and curved
portions of the vent system):
n For 90° elbows, reduce the allowable vent system length by
10 ft (3.05 m).
n For 45° elbows, reduce the allowable vent system length by
6 ft (1.83 m).
For example, if the Installation Instructions state that a dryer is
allowed 40 ft (12.2 m) of total vent length with two 90° bends, the
total allowable vent length would be reduced by 20 ft (6.0 m) (from
40 ft [12.2 m] to 20 ft [6.0m]).
Install Vent System
1. Install exhaust hood
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.
Connect Inlet Hoses
For vented, non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.” The dryer
must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet
hoses. Do not use old hoses.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on
the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear,
or leaks are found.
1. Turn cold water off, remove and replace rubber
washer
Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with
new rubber washer.
2. Attach short hose and “Y” connector
Attach 2 ft (0.6 m) inlet hose to cold water faucet. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet. Then attach “Y”
connector to male end of the 2 ft (0.6 m) inlet hose. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.
3. Tighten couplings
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with additional two-thirds
turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can
result.
