If the manufacturer s instructions do not specify a termination location the exhaust duct shall terminate not less than 3 feet 914 mm in any direction from openings into buildings.
Roof termination dryer vent.
Clothes dryer vents should terminate outdoors and should be screened enough to prevent entry by animals as well as to minimize cold back drafting when the dryer is not in operation.
Venting dryers to a roof termination or roof cap is very common in the south.
They meet or exceed all code requirements and deliver superior airflow efficiency.
Shorter duct runs created by venting the dryer straight through the roof can improve drying efficiency and lessen lint buildup.
Exhaust duct terminations shall be in accordance with the dryer manufacturer s installation instructions.
Clothes dryer exhaust vent termination at walls or rooftops.
Efficient dryer roof termination dryerjacks are the first roof vents designed to meet the more stringent requirements for dryer venting.
Until now however there were no roof terminations that met all of the stringent dryer venting requirements.
The new dryerjack is engineered specifically for dryers.
The position and curvature of the damper combined with collar placement optimize airflow efficiency.
