Proper Dryer Vent



This is a sequel to the “dryer vent: bad idea” video inwhich I set a cheap dryer vent on fire in the driveway. This is the RIGHT way to do it. A couple notes: why clamps not screws? Because screws give something for lint to snag on in the vent! Why avoid hard 90 degree turns? Because each 90 is like adding five feet to the run. Check your dryer owners manual for the maximum horizontal run supported by the dryer fan. Add up the distances and add 5 feet for each 90 and you have your total. If it goes too far, the exhaust loses speed and the lint falls out. It will also lose heat and cause condensation in the vent leading it to rust and fail.
