@jcravatt1 they're a good product. I typically only recommend them for certain situations that are a minority. But I don't recommend them if the use of their 90 degree turn is also needed to be used.

Good idea. I sometimes struggle to get the correct tight fit with off the shelf products especially because I’m working in a tight space behind the dryer with limited mobility.

Ok…. Our dryer hose goes to the floor… but from under the house to the exhaust that exits the wall is basically a right angle but a couple inches to the left directly below the hole from the floor… Guess I could try this and see if it works… like a right angle elbow would fit if the hole in the wall wasn’t to the left.

I was under the impression that these super flexible foil type of exhaust vents are fire hazards as it traps lint ? I do understand the flexibility part that can be very helpful in tight spaces.

Appreciate your comment the dryer manufacturers are not against flexible connector hoses however they do specifically say which ones to use and which ones not to use. We have another video on our Channel at least one that communicates how all dryer manufacturers recommend not using plastic or foil hoses. Semi-rigid is approved by dryer manufacturers along with products like Dryer Flex and V-Flex.

Nate, thank you for the video. I need to replace my old semi-rigid hose on my gas dryer. I have heard that it is not a good idea to attach the hose directly to the outdoor piping because putting the dryer hose "over" the outdoor hose can create a lint trap inside of the piping and lint can stick to the inside. I was told to make all connections so the pipe can be placed in the inside rather than outside. Is this true?
@NatesDryerVentCleaning Жыл бұрын
It won't cause any problems you can do one of two things especially if your vent happens to be short. 1) assuming the semi-rigid won't slide over the "outdoor piping" which should be Rigid Metal Duct, then snip 2-3 1 inch slips evenly spaced around the semi-rigid to widen that opening that will connect to the Rigid Metal. After fitted on take aluminum tape and seal and secure then a clamp. Or 2) Instead of slots if you have a crimping tool you could crimp either the semi-rigid end which will make it a smaller diameter likely enough to slip INTO the Rigid metal then tape and clamp OR crimp the Rigid Metal "outdoor pipe and the semi Rigid will easily fit ovetop of the crimped end.

Sir, respectfully, do some research and go check out the Dryer Flex website. It's a safe and approved transition hose. ANY type of duct work can crush, which is why the dryer should have a few inches of clearance from behind the machine and if so it won't crush. Why Resort to silly name calling? I'm the certified technician, you aren't.
