| #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. Asked on 2021-07-27 by Valerie |

| #3 | Q: Can this unit be used with a gas dryer? A: The VTX400P should only be used with electric dryers. Asked on 2021-07-27 by Valerie |
| #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. Asked on 2020-10-12 by Susan |
| #5 | Q: Is this fan using plug-in feature or hard wire for power connection? A: This fan does include a power cord to plug in. Asked on 2020-01-15 by Viroj |
| #6 | Q: I dont have 5 feet from dryer. Will this work and is it okay to mount on ground. 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. Asked on 2016-11-06 by john howe |
