Why cannot this be used with a gas dryer?

[@ThomasElmore-dh7pu]

Thanks!

[@Ssups101]

Might want to fix the electrical strain connector on the dryer, the connector goes over the outer jacket of the cord, not the individual wires.

I have a vent box that's recessed behind my dryer and I bought the MagVent and it works great. My dryer for the first time is totally pushed back up against the wall, best value for the money and gave me more floor space in the laundry room .

[@jenna6256]

I like the magnet idea. I had this situation with my dryer and I moved the vent opening on the dryer to the side of the dryer instead of the back. Was super easy to do on my unit.

[@michaelmccormick7784]

Dude that is great, can’t say it enough. And thank you for taking the time to explain the complete process. Great job

[@BarbaraRosenberg-l3t]

I'm so glad I found this video. It really helped solve my dryer venting issues. You also explained it completely understandable.

[@Tricia_JoElle]

These are great! Very useful. Keep in mind, though.... HD dryers have a sensor telling the machine if the air flow is slow in exiting. This will cause the temp to go down as a precaution. I got a new house with an HD. I put one of these vents on the back, as with all of my previous dryers. Eventually I noticed that the dryer wasn't getting very hot. Finally, after taking 2 hours to dry a load of towels.... I called a repairman. he told me that there is an air flow sensor in most HD units. Mine sensed a slower flow due to the sharp turn, and automatically lowered the temp. He put a normal vent tube on it and I had my hot air back! it is not a danger with the air flow, while using the unit shown in the video. It's the high tech idiots who have to add all the BS on the new appliances. So if your temp goes down a bit after installing one, take it off, put a normal one on (with dryer pulled away from wall) and see if there's a difference... before calling a $100/visit from repairman.

[@bobvecchi304]

While you’re at it you better repair that dryer cable that’s hanging out of the connector on the back of the dryer. The inner conductors are exposed. (1:03)😊

[@jjarm]

Improperly attached strain relief, 👍

[@xHadesStamps]

It’s actually the insulative sheathing for the inner wires that’s exposed, but those shouldn’t be, either.

[@17ReasonsWhyProductions]

Looks much better with the MV. The dryer vent is a point of ingress for rats and mice. I would recommend a bead of silicon around the vent where it meets the wall. And (as you said) a screen or vent cover on the outside ,

[@FixThisHouse]

Th an you so much for the advice my friend 🙏🏽😊

[@snort455]

I just installed one of these. The connection was only $50. Best, cleanest dryer installation Ive ever done. 👍.

[@ru4skuba]

Dude are you fricking kidding me...that is sooooo slick and I want one !!!! Mine looks pretty much like the before picture and it has always made me a little uncomfortable....not only from a safety perspective but how it looks too. I had no idea they made these things. Already have it in my shopping list. Excellent installation video too brother. Well done !!!

[@benburnett8109]

ITs a code violation in the majority of states.

[@Alan_Edwards]

@@benburnett8109 I don't see why at all. Having the hose all bent and coiled around is a lot more unsafe. Still getting one. It's in my wish list already.

[@benburnett8109]

@Alan_Edwards awesome just make sure it is code compliant in your area.

[@Alan_Edwards]

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

Nice upgrade. Also the snake of extra tubing has a habbit of slowing down the exhaust and collecting a whole bunch of lint. Then you start noticing that the clothes take a lot longer to dry burning up electricity. This is what I experienced with my setup. I will do this upgrade in the near future.

[@shawnp6653]

Great video - I think the 180 will work for me, but with a bit more hose. You have so much space to work in and your knees aren't ancient :) Thanks again!

[@eigleenalegri2664]

Well done! Thank you for an excellent video

[@tekvenus]

Hooked it up. Didn't even know it existed before I saw your video, so thank you. My bunched up hose was getting clogged up constantly and burned out my heater coil. Hopefully this will put an end to that!

[@benburnett8109]

congrats, you installed a code violation. And the radical 90deg bends will retain heat and pose a fire risk. Do research. Don't burn you house down.

[@rjb6327]

Mine not only goes to the wall, it goes up the outside of the wall into a hole in the ceiling and then empties out into the space under the roof of my family room. Doesn't even vent out to the outside. What a great builder.

[@houptee]

It's really dangerous get that fixed! Plus the damp lint and humidity in the exhaust is going into the soffit of your roof and will cause damage to the rafters and plywood on the roof.

Been looking for a solution for years. Thanks

[@dandydonslife9869]

Great idea, want one for my dryer, thanks.

[@DHxJarsyl]

I did this using traditional solid dryer ducting. I just made sure the dryer exhaust perfectly lined up with the drier duct coming out of the wall. Then I carefully slid the dryver back until it was fully connected.

[@obifox6356]

I have used solid duct with L at dryer for over 20 years with no problems. I do not tape it, so it is easier to clean duct annually.

[@rjtumble]

We're about to build a house, this is definitely going in, great video, thanks.

[@FixThisHouse]

I the same way! Glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊

[@bevyofbabes]

They look nice and that magnetic attachment looks like a great idea however the 90 degree redirect is an airflow obstruction. You will be needing to clean that out more than usual. Ascetically it's beautiful however mechanically it's not as functional.

[@lzh3131]

This was another good video. I’m not sure if this is the solution to my problem, but am definitely going to do some measuring. Thanks again!

[@PerrySummers]

I"ve been using magvent for a few years. I have it on two dryers. It works GREAT!!!

[@commoncentsamerican]

XD so does my old metal hose. I put it on 7 years ago and never had to touch it once.

[@rich13la1]

That sharp 90 degree bend will affect air flow especially if you happen to have a long vent pipe run to outside wall. But I can see how in certain situations it would be a good choice. I would like to know if the magnetic connection has different designs to choose from.

[@Alexander-dt8sk]

I was wondering the same thing. How will that sharp turn affect the airflow vs the curvilinear path otherwise taken.

[@obifox6356]

I have solid ducts with 3 90 degree Al’s. No problem. Less dust collects than with flex.

[@Alexander-dt8sk]

@@obifox6356 Thanks for the input.

[@jenniferjones4024]

Great video. Can you do one where the dryer vent is on the floor?

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Great video! I'm definitely upgrading my inside and external vents!

[@commoncentsamerican]

Why? This is not a upgrade actually, the initial 90 degree turn this thing makes is horrible and restricts air flow. More clean up for you and you buying a new dryer more frequently. Just because something "looks good" doesn't make it good.

[@rolysantos]

I love the magnet. But if you add a Vent Box in the wall, you can also put the dryer almost flush with the wall.

[@chrisgualtieri]

Now you have a great choke point for lint to gather. That’s how dryer fires start.

[@jameslastname9171]

And that’s why he does annual maintenance

[@chrisgualtieri]

@@jameslastname9171 No, you’re supposed to do it twice each year but most homeowners don’t. They go years without cleaning it, which usually isn’t that big of a deal with the old style. Once you start putting in right angles though, that changes things drastically.

Yes you can use these on gas dryers. The "Fix this House" guy corrected himself and said you can use on both. Read further down.

[@mestep511]

Took me about 30 seconds of video to buy one of these. The wall mount goes first at dryer height then you decide path out. For years I’ve had a scary mix of periscope and flex running up and back down to similar location to yours. This ends leaks, fear and dries better I’m sure and is not ugly. Thanks

[@robmcguckin7605]

Heat degrades magnets, Google it.

[@rhdtv2002]

[@FriscoPisco]

Great Product. Nice install job , You left one step out , you should of clean and caulk around where the vent stubs out from wall , 5 min fix , make it look professional !

[@davidszakacs6888]

I used a similar hookup back in 2007 in my new house except it didn’t use any magnets and no extra duct had to be purchased. The flat duct could be slid back and forth to align the it with the dryer outlet. It’s still working fine.

[@jz6782]

Used the same telescoping adapter thing myself for 20 yrs, worked great!

[@mikeslater6246]

This is a great idea and I'll probably get one of these. But I do want to mention that whoever owned that dryer was not doing annual duct cleaning because that was a whole lot more than a Year's worth of Lent and that ductwork and the way they ran it, it was just a fire waiting to happen. That new vent system you installed will also make it extremely easy to clean it using the cleaning kits that are available to clean with the dryer in place.

I would hope for a horizonal pipe going out the bottom of the wall to the ouside . I would expect lint to build up , how quickly ? Then to be a potential fire as you cannot see the build up of lint . And do you really think you will check it and clean it as necessary .

[@brianzachary5618]
