there.

I don't know the "codes". I call the Code Enforcement office or,
in the rural area where I am now, stop in and talk to them.
Unlike most people, I don't consider the code people enemies;
they're just educated messengers who interpret the codes, just as
I used to do with CFR's.

Sorry, at Sears, 6 miles from here, I looked at one last
night, then I went over to Howland Pump and looked at one there,
a commercial set of three were on the floor. ALL vented to a
chimney. All 4 vented the drying area separately. All 4 used a
heat exchanger but it took they guy at Howland to tell me that
about the Sears one, although it obviously did.

Makes me wish I had one so I could see if it would set off the
CO detector. I know it'll set off the CO2, but I think it's heat
& humdity did that; the pipe separated.

I'll believe you guys if you can find/quote a verifiable source
where it's in the code, any residential code or code that applies
to residential. We're not really playing the commercial game
here.
