    This is really important information. Thanks nate
  • Ooh, Inovate has some great products! I’m about to order one of their metal wall dryer vents.
  • @DIYLifeSkills
    Good idea. I sometimes struggle to get the correct tight fit with off the shelf products especially because I’m working in a tight space behind the dryer with limited mobility.

    I was under the impression that these super flexible foil type of exhaust vents are fire hazards as it traps lint ? I do understand the flexibility part that can be very helpful in tight spaces.

    Nate, thank you for the video. I need to replace my old semi-rigid hose on my gas dryer. I have heard that it is not a good idea to attach the hose directly to the outdoor piping because putting the dryer hose "over" the outdoor hose can create a lint trap inside of the piping and lint can stick to the inside. I was told to make all connections so the pipe can be placed in the inside rather than outside. Is this true?

    I need to connect a 6" exhaust fan to a 3" semi rigid duct, how do I do it? I found a reducer on Amazon that's plastic, but it smooth and the duct doesn't fit inside or outside of it
  • @charlessuez3996
    Do the lints get caught on those edges? I saw it in another video. I am trying to do that right now and l am struggling with it 😢
  • @sassynaturals
    Did you use the sheet metal piece for the wall part also? If not could you? My vent looks exactly like this one
  • @aaronburke1587
    so Im coming out of the dryer, down through wall into crawl space with a 4ft piece of dryerflex, then to the hard pipe, how you connect those two, shouldnt the Dryerflex be inside the hard pipe, pics would be great
  • @rankontop5041
    Do you change these out yearly after the installation?
  • @jimm.1013
    I missed the part where the pipe is taped and clamped to the part coming out of the wall.
  • @sharoncc9192
    You didn't show how to make the cut at the beginning
  • No NO NO!!!!!! It crushes and starts fires. This guy is a hack!!! Use hard pipe only!!!!
