2:43 hold pipe gentle like borger

I feel so validated after reading these comments

The tip of rolling the pipe allowed me to connect the pipe in 5 minutes. This followed a couple of hours of teeth gnashing, bleeding, swearing and sweating. Thank you for the tip!

I would like to purchase the tap fittings used in this video to connect to the magnehelic gauges. Any information to that end would be greatly appreciated.

Where may I find the tap fitting and the gauge?

Can you provide me with the model of the pressure gauge and the specification of the fitting in the transition pipe.

My first problem was trying to reuse the flex hose that got smashed up while moving houses. Once I followed the video steps with a NEW hose, everything worked perfectly. Lesson learned, do not re use a smashed up hose

Good video 👍

I just spent 2hrs fighting one of these. Make the damn things so you don't have to modify what you just bought

Thank you so much for this video !

Help me please I'm trying to shorten this flex hose and tin snips won't cut the wire! I'm gonna cry

Wish I had seen this before I spent over 70 bucks trying to find the correct oval to round adaptor. Good video nonetheless; I’ll keep it in mind in case this shit ass adaptor breaks.

Wait. Why are you selling vents with screens????

All flex hoses introduce collection points for lint. Don’t use them. Use sheet metal ducting with taped joints.

Some dryer tubing is plastic pipe. The elbows and head loss is much lower with that.

Too bad they don't make a dryer vent with a 4" inlet and 6"+ outlet. Should remedy some of that back pressure without reducing volume flow.

Thank you so much. This video solved my issue immediately!

From my dryer to vent to roof is 15 feet how do i know my dryer and lenght of pipe will keep the damper open enough

I did the same hack just using my fist.

Anybody else trying to be an adult? Lmaoo

We sent a satellite 30 years back that is now sending space images to us and this is 2023 and we don’t have a pipe solution for the vent?long live the enterprise

Thank you

Will it work for bathroom vent, or do you guys have a smaller version???

Thank you so so much, I just had the dryer guys deliver the dryer and they said I had to buy an adaptor for it and I didn’t even understand what the heck they were talking about ❤❤❤

I just installed the Inovate DryerFlex that I purchased from Amazon. I used an actual wooden rolling pin to straighten the ends which indeed helped. I did NOT make the cuts in the ends as recommended here, as the DryerFlex is just aluminum foil covering a coiled galvanized wire; cutting through the wire in the ends would have left only the foil keeping the ends attached and would have greatly weakened the connections.

What I saw is that he rounded the numbers up for the other vent caps, and rounded down for his product. Also, I noticed that he used both hands to completely surround where the product meets their test pipe. It seemed like he was manipulating the results (to some degree) by allowing more or less air into the various roof caps. I used to work as a design engineer for a company that makes supermarket and restaurant equipment, most of which have forced air ducts within them. I also used to work in the R&D of these products. I know for a fact that any length of ductwork and certainly any redirecting of the air causes back-pressure, and therefore, a pressure drop. Why not just say whatever the truth is, something like: our products have 75% less pressure drop than the competition?

I didn't really have issues getting the hose onto the annoying oval pipe. Didn't have to cut or make any adjustments to the vent hose. I did however have to rig a clamp as the round clamp would not bend or open enough to apply it. It came with the vent tension clamp. The flexible hose fit snug and didn't budge when I tugged on it however it didn't have a complete seal as it's round and the wall pipe is oval so I just used zip ties til I can get aluminum tape. Personally if a complex is going to do something like this they should provide any adapters or provisions needed to make it easier on our budget because the tenant did not request nor was informed of this issue

There is a little Boober Fraggle in all of us. #Laundry

That rolling tip saved me. I spent an hour in hell

Jiggles is a cute name for the metal flex duct hose. It jiggles and wiggles.

Change the title of video

You saved another person twelve years later

It amazes me they haven't yet invented something to make hookup easier

Cutting notches in the aluminum flex hose just makes it unravel. Bad advice.

I got a great idea! Why don't the manufacturers make the flex hose the appropriate size to slide on properly without all the hassle?

Thank you you’re really hoping to install my dryer by myself. Very proud moment.

Wow! Thanks!!!

Astute

Great video. I appreciate the tips and tricks and your video came through clutch for installing a dryer vent hose as it was my first time and I was a bit overwhelmed. But after your video I was able to install with ease. 10/10.

THSNK YOU! I’ve never felt more defeated by a stupid appliance than trying to fit this aluminum flex over that oval duct.

Rolling the end was such a great tip!

There is no Dryer Flex in CA. Is there a equivalent brand?

I laughed nervously when I was the white nylon hose being said as the hose not to use. I am replacing that hose now after 12 years of having it and I bought my house brand new in 2011.

Is it just me, but he didn’t sit the vent on the tube like the other vents.

He is exactly correct on the Foil hose, that crap should be outlawed ! In a dryer fire, it will act as a chimney pulling the flames through the duct till it catches fire itself AND IT WILL IGNITE AND BURN ! That foil ducting almost caught my first floor subflooring on fire during a dryer element fire when a high temp thermocouple went bad on our dryer ! Saving 50 bucks is not worth your family pets or house !

This is fantastic. Never came up during my hours of searches since vent/duct/cover keywords aren't there, I think. Found this video referenced in another videos comments.

Thank you! Your video was helpful, straight forward and easy to use.

The amount of time I wasted yesterday on installing one of these was ridiculous. Very surprised engineers have not considered the thought of offset ID’s. Tubes should be 1/8” larger ID without the need for these hacks.

Sus vuelas....esta. cancelada. De nada

I just saw this video because I'm changing from a wall vent to a roof vent. I'm an engineer so I Love this video. One Comment- you should update ending to show 477 instead of 466.
