The dryer vent
duct at the back of a dryer serves to discharge hot and moist air during the
operation of machines. The dryer roll, a heating element or a gas burner light
up and this hot air is swirled around your clothing and discharged from the vent
at the back of the dryer. Most dryers discharge this air through an outside
vent that is connected with a hose. The right way to installing the vent hose
is the key to hooking up the metal vent on the back of a dryer.

1. Determine the type of dryer duct that is correct for your situation. If
the dryer vent and the outside vent are directly above and below each other,
solid metal duct is preferred with two 90-degree angles. If the vents are in
different locations, a flexible metal duct works best.

2. Protect solid ducts together beginning at the metal vent at the back of
the dryer and work your way up to the outside vent. The dryer vent pieces
leading away from the dryer are considered as the "male" part. These
pieces are always inserted inside the duct during the run. For instance, the
vent duct on the back of the dryer is inserted into the next piece of duct;
that piece of duct is inserted into a 90-degree bend upward, and then another
90-degree end of the duct is inserted into the following duct as it rises
toward the exhaust duct vent. Cut the duct to the length you needed with a wiss
snips while wearing gloves. Once the ducts are in the place, wrap the joints
with metal tape and to seal them. Do not insert any screws, because the threads
will collect lint and begin to clog the duct.

3. Please attach a flexible duct in the same way. The metal vent duct on
the back of the dryer is inserted into the flexible duct and at the end of the duct
is inserted into the exhaust hole vent. Protect the ends with band clamps of
the correct size. Tighten them down firmly. Lots of flexible dryer ducts begin
at band clamps so there is no guesswork about how large they need to be.
Tips
l Flatten
the end of a corrugated flexible duct so it slides easily over the metal vent duct
on the back of the dryer. Place the flexible duct on the floor and -- using a
piece of duct or a dowel -- insert it about 4 inches inside, press down on the
pieces and roll it over the corrugations. Turn the flexible duct as you go
until the entire diameter has been flattened.
l Do
regular maintenance on your vent duct. Check monthly for clogging in the duct
and clean off the outside vent to maintain an unobstructed airflow.
Warning
l Never
connect your dryer to flexible plastic dutcs. These tend to clog over time and
can become a fire hazard.
