I rolled both ends about 3 links from the tip and "lawd have mercy", it walked right on. I'm still almost laughing out loud as I can't believe it worked.

This video really helped. Got a new dryer yesterday from Sears. They required the semi-rigid hose to be purchased with the dryer for them to install it. They didn't cut the duct at all and it was long with about 4 bends in it bunched up behind the wall and dryer. I tried last night to redo it shorter. That didn't work and the duct got crunched. I tried again today and got it right after watching your video and using your tips. I feel much safer now running the dryer with the duct is installed correctly. If anyone who is reading this and has a laundry area like mine with not much space, or a dryer box, don't try to push the dryer back flush to the wall. Let it stick out some if that means the duct won't get bent or crushed.

I turned it around to use the torn part on the dryer, after cutting off the torn part. Other than that, Excellent help!🏆🥳💃🏾🤗 Because my finger is messed up, I used the clamp to tighten the rigid shaft to make a little smaller, then I found twisting the Rigid Flex Hose on helped a bit.

I liked the idea of rolling the first two inches of the ends to flatten the pipe. I take mine off at least yearly to clean and inspect as well as vacuuming out the dryer itself, so it'll make it easier to fight it back into place... good trick! One reminder, try to keep your piping runs as short as you can, as straight as you can, as every turn or bend adds restriction. Check your through wall vent when the dryer is on and make sure you have good air flow. If not a good forceful air flow, it's time to clean the entire line.

Yes this is a antiquated system and the frustration is real. Millions of these issues. Semi rigid pipe is the correct material, but it is easy to pull apart, tears easy and is full pipe size. How do we make this work easy? I have added a Dryer Box 350 for a 4" wall and installed a pipe through the oval opening. Awesome... but the semi ridged flex does not like to go on as both are full pipe size. You need a male end and not raw pipe here. I found a male to male 4" flex coupling that is about 6" long. This inserts into the oval pipe coming into the box and on the other end the semi ridgid flex pipe slides right over. I use heavy duty duct tape over the flex and rigid pipe so it is sealed and won't slip, then I add a screw clamp. For the bottom connection, a 4" adjustable elbow is the cats meow. The male end of the elbow slides into the flex, again duct tape and clamp. The female end slides over the vent pipe of the dryer. No need for a clamp here as when the dryer is slid back into position it is trapped and can't slide off. Service work is easy, remove the dryer and the connection stays with the wall. Reinstall the dryer and slide the elbow back on. No hassle. Want to replace the dryer later with a new one? Easy as well.

I agree with you, except where you say to screw the joints. BAD BAD IDEA, unless you meant to say hose clamp. You NEVER want to use screws or rivets to attach duct sections. They stick out into the air stream inside of the vent, and collect dust and lint very quickly which can be a fire hazard. Hose clamps and metal tape are a great idea. Screws and rivets are not. Just wanted to clarify for anyone reading this.

Using rigid pipe to connect the wall outlet to the dryer creates a hardship in securing the connection, as there would be no to minimal room to get access the connection and then to use a tool to tighten the two clamps. Flex transition hoses allow the appliance to be moved out far enough to securely fasten the two ends, then as the dryer is moved back, the hose recoils. I agree with Shack's comment below, the use of screws is disallowed in the building code and the manufactures user guide.

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.

I just replaced plastic or vinyl hose with the ridged aluminum type. It did not go as smoothly as in the video. I cut the hose so that the dryer would be 5.25 inches from the wall like my mom wanted, but it was easy to install such a short hose and it needed to bend several inches from the current dryer to where the hole was. I think the more flexible collapsable hose would have been much easier to install in my case. There was no dryer box at all, just a pipe going outside.

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

+Jenn old comment, I know, that box just makes it harder to smash the hose against the wall, which would create a flow restriction and potential fire risk.

you my friend are 100% correct, he is showing a dangerous install--- the sheet metal supply has the proper SIMPLE fitting for this and will explain how to do it.

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

I have been trying to attach the semi rigid aluminum duct for 5 hours now. I am so frustrated with this. I thought I had it secured and then it just slides off the dryer box opening.

Get a UL-approved extension and then put the duct over it as carefully as you can. Secure it in place with metal foil tape

if you have to go over it which is wrong--- use metal tape as well!
