21[...]

22 c . V ertical V enting If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of airflow and should be spaced at least 46-1/8” (1 17.[...]

23 NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around).
