If you have white vinyl or foil venting behind the dryer or throughout the venting system
it should be replaced with flexible metal or rigid metal venting.
The following are some tips to help you install flexible metal venting from your dryer to
the wall or ceiling.
This section of venting is called the
transition
duct.
Installation
Note:
When installing venting components, the male
end or (crimped end) must always face toward
the exterior. This holds true for the entire
venting system.
Note:
The following are only tips to help you
with the installation.
It may be necessary to call a professional to
ensure
proper
installation.
“Loop”
Method:
When used with the proper materials, this method
will allow you to connect the venting to the dryer
while it is pulled away from the wall. It will form a
rounded transition from the dryer to the connection
point of your venting system which, in many cases, is
in the wall or floor.
