What term describes the removal of combustion products as well as moisture or toxic fumes to the outside air?

• A. Venting
• B. Vent System
• C. Duct
• D. Exhaust

Answer: (A)

Venting describes the action of moving combustion products, along with moisture or fumes, to the outside air. In a dryer setup, this means the warm, humid air (and any particulates like lint) is carried through a vent to outdoors. The hardware that makes this possible—ductwork and a vent system—facilitates venting, but the process itself is venting. Exhaust refers to the air that actually leaves, while a duct is just the conduit, not the action. So the correct term for the removal process is venting.
