I just purchased this unit. It has two exhaust units. Would anyone know if these could be joined using 4" wyes and vented with my wifes clothes dryer thru one exhaust vent? Would the paint and/or fumes vent into the basement thru the dryer? If not I’ll have to vent the unit thru the glass in the window. Any better ideas?
Sounds like an explosive situation, Phil. 
I tend to be a pessimist about this sort of thing, so I’ll defer to others who have solved this problem. You sound just as pessimistic as me, or you wouldn’t have asked the question. I am sure that it is doable, I’m just not sure how.
Since today is my 30th wedding anniversary, I thought it prudent to be cautious and not paint her clothes… LOL
What ever you do…DO NOT … combine the vents as Mr. Featherkile stated a “Potential for Explosion” at the very least a fire. They make a dryer vent system that vents inside into I think a water bath set up.
Check your local plumbing supply house for alternatives to venting out the window.
Uuh, dryers get hot. There’s either a gas burner in there, or an electric element, unless your dryer is nuclear, in which case you’d be absolutely safe… er, not.
Keep all fumes away from your dryer.
If I were in your position I’d take the spray booth back for a refund and then I’d do my spraying outdoors shielded from the wind, maybe even in the garden shed. Don’t knock it, there’s a highly professional model painter in England. Does some of the finest painting and striping I’ve ever seen. Does it the way I said. In his shed. Bakes his finishes in there too.
On the other hand, you could replace a pane of glass with a piece of plexiglass/acrylic stuff, cut a hole in that and install your vent thru it. My Daddy did that and it worked fine.
Me, I’m lazy. Although I do fine art, for my models I’m happy to atay with rattle cans in the great outdoors. There’s actually a recent thread about this somewhere around here, just last week or so. Look it up, a lot of the guys here do it one lazy way or another, just like me! Ha! Ha!

Happy belated anniversary, by the way. May you and your trulove enjoy many, many more of 'em.
John,
thanks for you thoughts… Did try outdoors… the low temps and early dusk’s will soon be an issue…Had thought of going thru the windows with the vents…guess I was looking for a lazier solution
Phil,
There is nothing wrong with going through the window. I did that for many years when I lived in NJ. My place here in FL had a gas hot water heater when I bought it, since changed to an electric one. I used the vent stack from the hw heater to vent the fumes from my paint booth (home made). I included a knife style gate in the duct to allow me to close it off when not in use. A similar arrangement could be made for your system through a window pane (or two if you deem it necessary).

… come to think of it you don’t have to replace the glass with acrylic. Masonite or plywood would work, easier to cut a circle in…
I vented thru the cellar storm window -works fine- removes virtually all the fumes. thanks to all of you for your input .
