That's the most straightforward and thorough installation of the mag vent I've seen. Thank you for sharing.

Ordered directly from Lowe's. Delivery faster & cheaper than Amazon

Any leakage between the 2 magnet ends to worry about?

It seems a good idea. But my high school science tells me heat gets rid of magnetism. Am I missing anything here?

Well done 👍🏻 Just what I needed to learn. Thank you!

OCD me…. I would have caulked the connection going outside. Caulking is the carpenters eraser. Caulking will keep bugs and vermin Out. Otherwise one of the best DIY videos I’ve seen in a long time. Job well done! 😊

Shouldn't that adjustable elbow be taped with aluminum tape?

When I bought mine I loved it, it worked great on installation, the hose piece found the magnet and made an extremly strong connection, However, the dryer shifted just a little and the magnet connected to the wall bracket easily came loose and lint is all over the wash room. The clips on the wall bracket just aren't strong enough to keep the magnet from breaking loose from the wall bracket. The wall bracket needs stronger clasps or some kind of mechanical connection, a simple threaded hole and a screw would fix the problem. The clips and bumps on the magnet just arent a good enough connection. The magnet to hose is so much stronger then the wall connection. Its a great idea but you need to fix how the magnet attaches to the wall, if you have a retrofit please send me a one. I cant keep worrying about it looseing connection and cleaning up lint. I still like the idea.

When will this be back in stock?

That gaping hole in the drywall though.

I am looking at this system as a viable option to address access difficulties, as the attic entrance is directly above the washer and dryer & that is, in a cupboard. The problem is when the duct was installed by the contractor. He placed a fully adjustable elbow in the opening and part of that elbow at the joint protrudes a good 1/4 inch past the face of the drywall on the top edge. And the straight part of the elbow is about another inch beyond that. My question is looking at your MV-Flex drawing the male portion that fits into the wall duct. Will it clear the elbow and allow the mounting plate to fit flush after the excess metal on the outside of the drywall is removed?

It appears the magvent does not perfectly align itself, does it?

seven years later...is that old dryer still running....boy it was heavy wasn't it?

It's all fun and games until you suddenly realize that the moron who installed the dryer pipe in the wall put it in backwards and has the male end facing the wrong way.. Now your magvent cant insert because some idiot decided to risk setting your house on fire!!! And no, the plumbing inspector didnt catch it bc He was too busy yucking it up with the plumber who did the job.

I like that "scared straight" clip at the end. Clean and maintain ur dryer ducts!!

...would have been geat if you were able to show the complete install up through the ceiling. I'm curious to know how everyone is getting the 4" duct through the top plate. I have metal stud framing and it's a real doozy getting the pipe into the tight space of the attic to vent through the roof. It also seems that it's almost impossible to adhere to the letter of the code when installing dryer ventsin an older these days... especially if you're laundry room isn't on an exterior wall 🤦‍♂

Looks good but the larger question would be why a dryer box would come with an oval hole for the pipe?

Watching that guy cut sheetmetal without gloves gives me the heebies. Modern cut-proof work gloves are your best friend.

Why don't they make a dryerbox to exhaust straight out the back of it and through the outside wall?

This is exactly the install we're doing this week. Thanks for the video. MagVent is just a great product.

I’m installing a stackable washer and dryer in a kitchen cabinet. This is what I’ve been looking for.

good video.........I was wondering why you didn't punch a new hole in the mason blocks straight out the back of the dryer.....then fill in the old one......I'm sure there was a great reason but just wondered.......

WOW! A must in our coming renovation!!

What happens when you pull out the dryer? The hose tears appart and you cry?

My dryer vents straight out. It is up against an outside wall of a very old house. 1915 aged house. Have alot of lint dust in the house and have had a repair man her multiple times still have lint dust. The washer and dryer and not even 3 years old. Bought the set new. The dryer sits out 3 inches more then the washer. Wish this box could lay on its side. Want to move th dryer to a different wall and move the washer also. But the box would still have to be on its side due to a bedroom above the laundry room. Love this old house. The pervious owners were very old and moved the laundry upstairs from the unfinished basement. Who ever did the work slapped it together. The washer has 2 different hook ups. 1 coming up through the floor that looks to be 60 yrs old. Also has a wall hook up. How ever that one I guess is for looks because it's not even plummed in to be used. Was nice shower when installing them to the newer wall hook up only to fnd out the floor hook up was the only working one when we turned the water on. Good times!!

I just installed my mv90 outside of a dryer box, because of a concrete ledge on the bottom corner of the floor behind the dryer (so it couldn't fit in the stud bay). It was simple to use even one tapcon screw on the mv90 positioning bracket to make it position right where it was needed! After that, the magvent linned up perfectly with my dryer duct! I should say to TEST MOVING THE DRYER IN **AND** OUT. Why? To test and retest both the brackets connection to the wall And To test the hold of ring clamp, holding the end of the magvent part ON THE DRYER. I emphasize this the way I do since I had to tighten to ring clamp on the dryer much tighter than I expected to achieve a solid hold. Anyways, when all is said and done, it really does work perfectly, and looks pretty damn good too. It's around $95 Canadian to get one of these, but so so worth it. Thanks for the fire caulk advice btw! I was just going to use foil duct tape alone before seeing this. Great video!

Question. Did you use regular 4" duct in the wall or was it oval pipe?

I insulated wall cavity on exterior wall. Screw that noise.

He oído que se pueden utilizar para encender hogueras. ¿Pero aún así necesitarías algún tipo de combustible?

So not an air tight connection? is it safe for gas dryers ? (don't want carbon monoxide leaking) Also what about the magnets attracting bobby pins, pens, money, wouldn't that clog or cause the debris to help form a stop with the lint.(kind of like when there's a bend in flex piping or top mounted lint trap on the dryer) (if you take dryers apart you know there's almost always debris at the bottom of the top mounted lint trap) just some things to think about for the engineers. Would have like to see this as a fresh install where there is already finished walls, because I know it's twice as hard to install these boxes.

The mag vent 90 is around $89 at Lowes , less military discount , I am getting me one

Wow, very cool. Just bought one.

What about application that goes into the floor?

Man that oval thing is a pain

Only one problem is That , the connection off the wall like 7 feet . .

My dryer likes to shake. The installer recommended I don’t go with a mag vent cause he said when the dryer shakes while running the connection will slide. Is he full of it?

I have this on my dryer now, installed it 5 days ago. When you feel and hold the mag vent you know your installing a high quality vent. I am 60yrs old and installed lots of hoses over my life time the mag vent is the BEST in my life time I have ever came across.

Exactly what I needed! Awesome!

Ordered this for my new dryer. It will enable me to push back the dryer closer to the wall.

Yeah magVent

How about no box?

Complicate and unnecessary

Good video When cutting vent pipe, start on the other edge so the curl follows the snip blade

How to install a dryer vent hose

I would like to try this but I live in an apartment. Is there a way to install it with out cutting off the pipe in the wall? And, is the flexible part made out of that plastic stuff that catches on fire? Or is it actually metal? I’m worried about that. Thanks.

They should add very thin gasket. I mean, it's pretty tight but metal to metal probably still leaks a little

Can the flex material on the dryer side be replaced? With, say, semi-rigid duct material?

I won’t be able to screw that in. Mine is in the porch and we have the exhaust through a screen and metal shutters.
