    Why wouldn't you just use a core drill ?

    I have to say this. Why use this method? Uneven job. Should use a circular saw.

    Great job, but you should drill a single hole right through the centre of the hole from the inside to the outside to give you the reference for the outside hole centre. Just a thought.

    Nice one mate. Better for the DIYer as renting or borrowing a core drill is a pain in the arse! PS where are you mate you've not be on in over 7 years..?

    Second video I've looked at today that doesn't cover the one step in the process that I'm looking for - assembling and mounting the interior components of the vent kit to the inside of the house wall!!

    WOW that is a hard work way of doing it. I use a 3/8 diameter long drill bit to make a pilot hole from the inside sloping downwards by about 10 degrees right to the outside. There will be a little spalling on the outside brick but that does not matter. Then I use a 4in drill bit with its own internal 3/8 bit which sticks a couple of inches past the end to follow the pilot hole I have already made. The hole is very neat and exactly to size and as it is done in a single action the alignment is exact. Push through solid pipe and then screw covers etc and fill to prevent water ingress. The large drills make the job much quicker and the finish neater. They are not that expensive, I think they can probably be rented but my set includes additional sizes for sink/dishwasher drains and armoured electric cables. It is amazing how many holes you end up drilling into a house.

      £100 plus to rent a drill powerful enough for a day.

    07:30 Should explain that the external vent has a top. You cut over where you reversed it off camera ;-) No harm in explaining these tripping points to people.

    Why not use an SDS diamond core bit for a clean hole

    Using a vac as you drill will greatly mitigate the particulates and make for a much more tidy workspace. youtube.com/@toddandemysadventures2045

  • @JL-of3db

    Just seen this, is there a way of checking there are any pipes in the wall or wiring before starting to drill?

    drilling like this seems better then using drill core bits which take for ever

  • @UberWagen
    @UberWagen Год назад

    PVC dryer vents and that type of transition ducting are actually against code in the U.S. now. Builds up static electricity as lint tumbles across it and can cause ignition. Not to mention, that flimsy hose tears and will cause leaks into that room. Goes without saying, but just in case: ABSOLUTELY, DO NOT USE THESE MATERIALS WITH GAS POWERED DRYERS.

  • @22kylejones

    Buy a core bit.... also Plastics for a hot exhaust seems like a bad idea

  • @voiceofjeff
    @voiceofjeff 2 года назад

    Clear and simple explanation of how to get it done. I think an important thing to remember is to try to locate a dryer exhaust as far away from an outside A/C unit as you can. Lint blowing out of the dryer vent can clog up an A/C condenser unit in no time at all! Greetings from the USA. Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

    how do you check for pipes/wires ? or is it just a luck game

  • @Poekieman

    That was useful and instructional. Drilling a big hole in a wall using just regular tools. Thanks.

    just pop a pilot bit through from the inside , alot easier

  • @SwingAndSway245WBC
    @SwingAndSway245WBC 2 года назад

    Very nice. The only thing I would change is using an aluminum flexible tube from the dryer to the external tube. In many places plastic flexible tubes are not to code.

    Thank you sir. That was the exact tip I was looking to install the duct of my kitchen hood. May I know what is the name of the fitting you installed outside so that I can look for that at the hardware store. Thanking you in advance.

    Defeated the purpose drilling a down facing hole if you end up sealing it up on the out side wall side. Wheres the water gonna go, it can't escape? You sealed it up?

    • @jesstaylor2737
      @jesstaylor2737 7 месяцев назад

      That is for a vent not a condenser pipe the vents don't have any moisture pass through from the inside. the sealant and down sloping pipe is to reduce the risk of any external moisture entering the pipe or wall through the whole like heavy rain for example.

    Absolutely awesome stuff. Well edited to keep from being overly long but without skipping any important steps. Some great advice on what tools to use and the tips about putting a screw in to grip and drilling the hole slightly downhill are excellent. Finally, a likeable and clear host. As someone who's just bought their first house, this was an easy subscribe!

  • @jboyd7327
    @jboyd7327 3 года назад

    Excellent instructions but the diameter should be of the tube not the connection fitting on the outer/inner wall which is smaller.

  • @ilricettario
    @ilricettario 3 года назад

    Only observation it would definitely be better to buy, or borrow yourself a diamond core drill set to make the hole.

  • @ilricettario
