This means that hot air is not able to cool as efficiently as it should. If this is the case, the air that leaves the exhaust will be hotter, which can be dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another danger introduced when putting multiple dryers on the same duct is the possibility of exhaust reentering the home. This is because there is another path for the exhaust to travel, which is into the other dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There should be systems in place to prevent this (i.e., backdraft dampers), but these can fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exhaust from a dryer is highly dangerous, as it contains compounds such as carbon monoxide and certain <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/what-vocs-why-dangerous\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"19629\">volatile organic compounds<\/a>. Not only are they highly toxic, but they are often hard to detect. Therefore, it is important to prevent any risk of inhaling these compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moisture and heat released by dryers can also cause <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/dryer-venting-attic-is-it-safe\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13430\">problems when these are released inside the house<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parallel Venting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for an easy way to vent multiple dryers, then you should consider parallel venting, which is where you run both vents next to each other on the same path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a multitude of benefits to running your vents parallel to each other. For one, you only have to <strong>plan and plot out one path<\/strong>, which is <strong>likely the shortest and most efficient path<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oftentimes, it can be difficult to find an additional path if you are adding another duct system. Parallel venting gets rid of this problem entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit is that you are <strong>able to access both ducting systems at the same time<\/strong>. Since they are next to each other, it is much faster and much easier to perform routine inspections. This also makes it easier to clean both ducts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the thought of cleaning, having both vents run parallel means that any<strong> lint will be blown out of the same area on the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/dryer-can-vented-roof-code\/\">roof<\/a> or wall<\/strong>. This means you only need to clean one area of lint rather than the two you&rsquo;d have to clean if your vents had different routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, running the <strong>venting parallel means that you&rsquo;ll be saving space<\/strong>. This is because both vents will likely be taking the shortest route and there is little room between vents, leaving more room for other appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top.jpg\" alt=\"Parallel venting of dryers viewed on top\" class=\"wp-image-22414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Parallel venting of dryers viewed on top\" class=\"wp-image-22414 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Parallel-venting-of-dryers-viewed-on-top.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drawbacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running your vents parallel is not without its drawbacks, however. In fact, it may be possible that parallel venting is not an option for your house. This can be because there i<strong>s only enough room to run one duct its path<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to switch to smaller duct sizes, but this can, in turn, <strong>negatively impact the efficiency of the exhaust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, it is possible that you <strong>don&rsquo;t have enough room for the dryers themselves<\/strong>. Since they have to sit in the same area, you may not have enough room to sit both dryers next to each other, making parallel vents not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you run multiple ducts next to each other, it is <strong>important to insulate them<\/strong>. This is to prevent the temperatures between multiple ducts from interacting. If you are considering running your ducts parallel, it could become a hassle to insulate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having both termination vents next to each other can also<strong> increase the risk of failure and leaks<\/strong> because a larger percentage of a certain portion of the wall or roof will be compromised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that you will likely have to do more repairs on your ventilation if you run them parallel rather than running them in different directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different Routes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If parallel ventilation routes do not fit your style or your space, an alternative would be to have your dryers take different pathways to the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of benefits if you decide to route your dryer ducts differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, <strong>each route will only need enough space to fit one duct<\/strong>. This can be extremely beneficial if there are only a few spots that can run more than one duct if any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you <strong>will not have to sacrifice duct size<\/strong> when installing multiple dryers. In fact, you can often times have larger ducts. <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/dryer-duct-length-dimension-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"21235\">Larger ducts mean improved airflow efficiency<\/a> which can be beneficial for the entire dryer system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also have more <strong>freedom for where you want to install your extra dryers<\/strong>. For instance, you can install both dryers next to each other. But, if you don&rsquo;t have the extra room or if you want to place the dryer in another location, you can do so easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top.jpg\" alt=\"Different routes of dryer vents viewed on top\" class=\"wp-image-22415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Different routes of dryer vents viewed on top\" class=\"wp-image-22415 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Different-routes-of-dryer-vents-viewed-on-top.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the ducts would take separate paths, you are able to vent them out in different spots, which <strong>limits the risk of installation failure and leaks<\/strong>.
