How Do You Attach A Dryer Vent?
Dryers, whether gas or electric models, should be vented outdoors to remove unwanted moisture from the home’s interior. The exhaust venting needs to be as short as possible with little to no turns or angles in the piping. The turns and angles can collect moisture and debris from the exhausting dryer. These particles and moisture can collect over time and perhaps create mildew or mold. Check with the dryer’s manufacturer’s specifications as to the correct hose diameter and type for your particular model. Pull the dryer out from the wall. Allow yourself enough room to comfortably work behind the unit and the adjacent wall. Remove the old dryer hose and the connections. Vacuum the area behind the dryer. Run the suction hose up and into the dryer vent itself. Remove all signs of lint from the dryer’s exhaust. Slide the large spring clamp over the end of the flexible dryer hose. Insert the hose over the dryer vent tube. Grasp the two sides of the spring clamp. Move the clamp over the dryer
