Below are Guidelines for Correct Dryer Vent Installation:
Never use Foil or Vinyl Vents:
- These are a fire threat
- The rough interior allows significantly greater lint build up
- They can easily become damaged, punctured or split when cleaning
- If a dryer fire does develop the plastic or vinyl furnishes fuel to permit flames to spread very quickly
- Flexible foil vents can be crushed behind the dryer to constrict airflow
- Ducts made of inferior product can sag creating low spots permitting water and lint to amass
Don't Use PVC Vents:
- These too can develop a fire hazard
- Static in PVC venting can allow lint to stick to the inside of the vent walls, which can combine with the expelled water throughout a standard dry cycle, producing sludge and a higher risk of a fire
- PVC can sweat when warm damp air moves through the cool smooth area which can enable lint to collect and harden and, consequently, make cleanings harder
- It takes more time for PVC to heat up so water can remain in a vapor form inside the pipe and combine with lint build-up to generate sludge within the vent
Use only Rigid Metal Venting:
- This is code certified material for dryer vents
- The smooth interior surface will enable lint to travel through freely to decrease build up
- It is rated the safest for containing a spark from inside the dryer flames from spreading
