#1 Q:   Can the ALT4 lint trap be installed immediately after the dryer and then the dryer booster immediately after the lint trap?
A:   The ALT4 can be installed right after the dryer. Typically its raised above the dryer for cleaning access. The booster fan should be 5 or more feet from the dryer outlet.

#4 Q:   Is there a maximum length that this fan can be installed from the dryer?
A:   Its not specified by Vortex but the fan has to be able to sense pressure of the dryer coming on. If you have it 100 ft away there might not be much pressure to sense. Ideally these should be 15 to 30 ft away.

A:   If you have less than 15 feet from the dryer then you need the ALT4 lint trap between the dryer and the booster fan. Not sure how you would mount this on the ground.
