I just looked up the T1515 duct length recommendation in the manual online. IT states the duct can be max at 66'. That is longer than I thought, is that right? If so, than I don't need a dryer fan. |

Anyone want to share their thoughts on ducting these machines? |

How far are you having to run ducting? Do you plan on running them simultaneously? There are back-flow preventers for vents, relatively inexpensive at Lowes. This would allow you to join them via a "Y" connector into one outlet to the outside but it's probably not a good idea to run them at the same time as the volume of air may be too great for the 4" venting.
I've often thought about this problem in my own basement, using a larger 6-8" duct length and using a booster fan at the end to keep the exhaust air moving smoothly. The back flow dampers would help with warm, moist air pushing back into the non-running dryers. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK

You shouldn’t need any in-line fans and you may mess up the dryers’ airflow by forcing air through them. You should have a detailed ducting guide in the manual, including how to calculate bends and so on.

If needed, there are a few. I don't know how much you would want to spend.
Tjernlund is over $250

Fantech is cheaper, but I don't know if it's better. www.hvacquick.com/products/reside... |
