Following are several Rules for Proper Dryer Vent Installation:
Do not Use Foil or Vinyl Vents:
- These can be a fire threat
- The rough interior allows increased lint collection
- They can quickly become damaged, cut through or torn when cleaning
- If a dryer fire does occur the plastic or vinyl provides fuel to allow flames to spread swiftly
- Flexible foil vents can end up being smashed behind the dryer to reduce airflow
- Vents made of substandard material can bend creating low spots allowing water and lint to collect
Don't Use PVC Vents:
- These also produce a fire hazard
- Static in PVC venting can cause lint to attach to the inside of the vent walls, which can mix with the expelled water throughout a normal dry cycle, making sludge and an increased risk of a fire
- PVC sweats when warm moist air travels through the cool smooth surface which can permit lint to accumulate and harden and, consequently, make cleanings harder
- It takes more time for PVC to heat up so water can remain in a vapor form within the vent and blend with lint build-up to generate sludge inside the vent
Use only Rigid Metal Venting:
- This is code certified material for dryer vents
- The smooth interior surface will permit lint to travel through easily to reduce build up
- It is graded the safest for containing a spark from inside the dryer to prevent flames from spreading
