beneath the mobile home) using metal ducting that will
not support combustion. Metal ducting must be 4

system 

MUST NOT

terminate beneath the mobile

home. Termination 

MUST

be securely fastened to the

mobile home structure.

3.

When installing a gas dryer into a mobile home, a
provision must be made for outside make-up air. This
provision is to be not less than twice the area of the dryer
exhaust outlet.

4.

Gas dryers 

MUST

be fastened to the floor using Mobile

Home Installation Kit Pub. No. 14–D346–33.

See the 

Exhaust System Checklist 

section for other

important venting information.
