Here are several Tips for Correct Dryer Vent Installation:
Avoid using Foil or Vinyl Vents:
- These could be a fire risk
- The rough interior enables more lint buildup
- They can quickly become damaged, lacerated or split during cleaning
- If a dryer fire does happen the plastic or vinyl supplies fuel to allow flames to spread quickly
- Flexible foil vents can end up being smashed behind the dryer to reduce airflow
- Dryer vents of inferior material can bend with low spots enabling water and lint to collect
Never Use PVC Vents:
- These can also generate a fire hazard
- Static in PVC venting can permit lint to stick to the inside of the vent walls, which can mix with the expelled water during a standard dry cycle, making sludge and a higher risk of a fire
- PVC can sweat when warm moist air travels through the cool smooth area which can enable lint to accumulate and densify and, successively, make cleanings harder
- It takes more time for PVC to heat up so water can remain in a vapor form inside the line and blend with lint build up to develop sludge inside the vent
Use only Rigid Metal Venting:
- This is code compliant material for dryer vents
- The smooth interior surface will allow lint to go through freely to decrease build up
- It is graded the most safe for containing a spark from within the dryer flames from spreading
