Transcript:
Welcome to the installation video for MagVent’s MV-90. Before proceeding, verify that your current duct path turns 90 degrees behind your dryer. If your current duct path is straight, and aligned with your dryer exhaust port, see the installation video for MagVent’s MV-180.
1-To begin, simply unplug your dryer, and remove any existing transition duct if necessary.
2-Measure the dryer port center from the flush side of the dryer, and up from the floor. Then transfer these measurements onto the wall.
3-Hold the mounting bracket to the wall on the center mark with the open part of the bracket running in the direction of the intended vent path. Then mark the screw hole locations on the wall.
4-Holding the bracket in position, drive the included mounting screws through the bracket hole, and into the wall anchors. If on a wooden surface, simply drive the screws directly into the wood.
5-Squeeze the bracket slightly, and fit the MV-90 onto the bracket until retaining tabs are engaged in the anchor slots located on the sides of the unit.
6-With the MV-90 in place, you can measure for the remainder of your duct system. Remove the MV-90 by squeezing the bracket to disengage the retaining tabs, and reattach if it eases your installation. Note the clean look, and low profile of the MV-90 wall-side installation.
7-Securely attach the Dryer-Side Union to the dryer exhaust port using the supplied hose clamp, and extend hose with a slight tug.
8-Plug the dryer in, and push into position, allowing MagVent’s powerful magnets to self-align and complete the duct connection.
9-A quick visual inspection to verify proper seal, and you’re done!
Congratulations! You've just installed a minimum path vent, and your dryer is safer, and more efficient.

Vous êtes en train de regarder le tutoriel d’installation du dispositif MagVent’s MV-90. Nous vous souhaitons la bienvenue ! Avant de continuer, vérifiez que le tuyau d’évacuation actuellement branché présente un angle à 90 degrés derrière votre sèche-linge. Si votre tuyau d’évacuation actuellement branché est en position horizontale dans l’alignement de votre bouche d’évacuation, veuillez visionner le tutoriel d’installation destiné au dispositif MagVent’s MV-180.
1-Pour commencer, débranchez simplement votre sèche-linge et retirez toute conduite d’évacuation d’air déjà existante, le cas échéant.
2- Prenez la mesure de la distance depuis le centre de la bouche d’évacuation du sèche-linge jusqu’au mur du côté, puis depuis le sol en remontant. Reportez ensuite ces mesures sur le mur.
3-Maintenez le support de fixation au mur, sur la marque centrale, avec la partie ouverte du support orientée dans le sens du passage prévu pour le dispositif d’évacuation. Puis marquez les emplacements des trous de vis sur le mur.
4-En maintenant le support en place, passez les vis de montage fournies dans le trou du support, ainsi que dans les chevilles murales. Si vous avez affaire à une surface en bois, enfoncez simplement les vis directement dans le bois.
5-Appuyez légèrement sur le support et fixez le dispositif MV-90 sur le support jusqu'à ce que les languettes de retenue soient engagées dans les fentes d'ancrage situées sur les côtés du dispositif.
6-Une fois le dispositif MV-90 fixé, vous pourrez mesurer le reste de votre système d’évacuation. Retirez le dispositif MV-90 en appuyant sur le support pour dégager les languettes de retenue, et refixez-le si cela facilite votre installation. Remarquez l'aspect épuré et la position basse de l'adaptation murale du dispositif MV-90.
7-Fixez solidement le raccord côté sèche-linge à la prise d'évacuation de celui-ci, à l'aide du collier de serrage fourni, puis allongez le tuyau en tirant légèrement dessus.
8-Branchez le sèche-linge et poussez-le pour le remettre en place et permettre aux puissants aimants du dispositif MagVent de s’aligner et de terminer le branchement de la conduite d’évacuation.
9-Une petite inspection visuelle rapide pour vérifier que le branchement tient bien, et le tour sera joué !
Toutes nos félicitations ! Vous venez d'installer votre système d’évacuation court, et votre sèche-linge y aura gagné en sécurité, et son efficacité en sera optimisée au mieux.

WOW! A must in our coming renovation!!

[@tractortinkerer11]

Nice if you are fortunate to have that amount of space behind the dryer and washer, or it's in a basement. Nice setup.

[@JoseMartinez-bs8oi]

Exactly what I needed! Awesome!

[@joesixpack9188]

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

[@TQfabulous]

Please do a video showing installation with a dryer on a pedestal.

Hi, I haven't installed mine yet, but I do have a question about the dryer side magnet with the flexible tubing. Is this the style of tubing that looks like metallic foil but is actually plastic that they show can catch fire with gas dryers? I'm liking this kit a lot so far and can't wait to install it. I have an electric dryer however that would probably shut off it got too hot, and do plan to keep the lint cleaned out once a year, but was just wondering.

[@chriss.8650]

Does the wall mount bracket that secures the Magvent come with the MV-90? If not, what would you recommend?

[@goatsonapost]

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?

[@OMARYassin1]

is it harmfull for the washing machine circuits and metalic parts ??

[@BigEarlPearl1]

Apologies, I'm an idiot. What is that transition/offset piece in the video called so I can search for it properly and purchase?

[@zorahartley1042]

Magtag dryer with low back vent but the other vent is not in the wall but floor. Will the 90 degree kit work and avoid the "loop" ?

[@wittttttt]

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

[@mapandcallsheet]

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

[@OMARYassin1]

why not just use any other type of connection ? how is this magnetic one useful ?

[@TheAaronExperience]

That gaping hole in the drywall though.

[@OhMostBobulousOne]

Don't forget that flexible duct coming out of the dryer which is a heating appliance is flammable, are you trying to burn the house down?

[@rondenhollander4313]

Couple of problems, soft foil is not to be used on any dryer, voids warranty. Second does the coupling, magnet , dead centre with wall part? If not it will shorten life of dryer, does manufacturer of venting system take over warranty if dryer fails? I wish builders would not throw laundry products where they fit and actually plan

[@MichaelMantion]

I woud have bough this but I hate background music. If you upload a video with out background music I will buy one. TY.

Complicate and unnecessary
