dryer installation 'special provision'??
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:04 pm
Looking at getting a new *used* washer & dryer set. I was researching the models online and came across the manual for the dryer. So i downloaded and perused it a bit. I came across this information;
Mobile home - additional installation requirements. This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the manufactured home construction and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construciton and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280).
Mobile home installations require:
- Metal exhaust system hardware
- Special provision must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer exhaust opening.
Should i be worried about meeting this 'special provision'?
My home is a 1996 Skyline double, these are going right next to the secondary exit door (but it doesnt have a window that opens). Looking for any advice from anyone that is familiar with this.
