Hello there, Patrick. We understand your inquiry regarding the installation clearance for your LG WashTower.

Even if your wall vent is positioned higher than the unit, we still recommend maintaining approximately 4 inches of clearance at the rear to ensure there is enough space for the exhaust ducting to curve without being kinked or crushed. For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com, and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo

Answer

You won't need 4 inches if you side vent but you'll still need some clearance for the hoses and electrical.

PaulS · Answer

You'll need 4 inches at the back unless you use a periscope vent, which saves a bit, or you side vent the unit.
