- Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and let me know where you're watching! I'm trying to grow this channel and shed a light on something that's often forgotten and extremely dangerous!
BY POPULAR DEMAND!!! This video is to show the installation process of my "Quick Connect Periscope." While We didn't invent the periscope, we DID invent to receiver piece that the dryer exhaust seals to. While there are many ways to use the periscope, this is one of the more common applications I encounter!
Please check out my website for my Quick Connect Periscope! It's the PERFECT product that replaces the flex hose connection and GETS THE MACHINE CLOSER TO THE WALL! Safer than ANY flex hose behind your dryer! No more fooling with connecting the dryer to the duct! No more lint leakage forcing you to dust constantly!

PLEASE LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE FOLKS!!! I'm trying to grow the channel however I'd much rather spread the word on the dangers of your dryer vent AND SAVE A LIFE!!! You subscribing helps get this message to more and more people!
Cleaning your dryer vent should be on your "to do" list regardless of if you own or rent your home! ESPECIALLY if your vent is run in a tight crawl space.

On average, how many inches can you save with your periscope?
There is not much difference between where the dryer sat with the flex accordion hose all collapsed and now butted up against the metal vent. My wall vent pipe sticks out about 1-5/8" from the wall. My dryer is now 6-1/2" away from the wall, but is level and solid. My dryer is drying the clothes mostly in one cycle unless I overload it.
I just finished installing a periscope vent on my Maytag Bravo dryer. I followed your video and must say it is a pain in the butt to install, but I am impressed with the results. My utility room is pretty cramped, so I struggled to access the vent. Once I screwed 2-1/8" spacer boards just above the baseboard between 2 studs, I successfully lined up the dryer and hooked up the vent. I was able to use the foil tape and a clamp on the wall side of the vent, but only could use tape and a very large zip tie to fasten the vent to the dryer side. I now have about twice as much air flow outside with this vent with a 9" offset and a slight downward angle from the wall side to the dryer. The periscope was tough to tape up and I bled like a stuck pig when my arm caught the cut edge of the overhang, even though I taped up the ends. Still, it was a good day since I resurrected this dryer from the dead once again. The thermal fuse and heating element had burned out again. I hope that the increased airflow from this solid metal vent will make the dryer work better than the old Jiffy Pop flex pipe did! Thanks for the great video!
LOL, good stuff... Let me know how its doing!
I have dried 6 loads of laundry since installing the new vent and the drier is drying the clothes in one cycle instead of 2-3! Small loads and the proper heat setting help the dryer do its best. That vent is working well. Thanks!
@@Rbenterprises4 LOVE IT!!!!!
Great idea, especially for tight spaces!
❤❤❤
Tons of building code violations here. Also if you ever did any static pressure testing you’d realize periscope vents are of one the most restrictive dryer connections available. Most periscopes are about .50WC vs .25WC for a round flex (Dryerflex,Rigiflex etc.)
I remove these periscope vents all the time because of the extreme lint build up. Horrible for air flow
❤
Great idea!
Great idea!
yeah i need to know what seals the dryer to the lower vent??
You can be sure with this telescope type of set up, and the method used in this video, the exhaust will not flow freely as it should.
This will cause a bad exhuast leak that in due time will result in a moisture soaked lint mess all over the back of the dryer and the walls of the laundry area. This guy will be making severe changes to this set up. Bank on it.
Well Tim… Funny enough, I’ve been installing these for over 20 years in the Charlotte, NC area as well as shipped them all over the country and NEVER had a customer call back with ANY issues regarding my Quick Connect Periscope! Therefore, you’re incorrect! However, please keep watching and you’ll learn something! It’s good for the soul!
That's so ugly on the wall. Why not make the boards smaller? Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Thx for watching! The large piece of 1/2" birch is bc we had to feed duct down the wall and wanted to cut the smallest hole in the drywall. It was originally run with flex through the entire duct system, so we had to replace with 4" hard pipe. Honestly, it's a good access point if the elbow ever disconnects from the vertical pipe.
Also, it's behind the dryer so not visible when the machine is in place... Regardless, it looks better, AND MUCH SAFER, than what was previously back there!
Great product!
cool product!
Actually, this is one of the worst inventions ever made. Restricts air glow horribly , which leads to poor dryer performance
You couldn't be more incorrect! It's way better than 6'-8' of crushed flex hose behind the dryer! Better yet, what's better?
AFTER SERVICING APPLIANCES FOR OVER 45 YRS, I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! DO YOU???? HOW WELL DO YOU THINK THE AIR MOVES THROUGH THAT RESTRICTIVE BOX? iT WILL CAUSE A MODERN DRYER TO QUIT WORKING DUE TO POOR AIR FLOW!!!
@@kennethmorgan4785Your capital LETTERS don't make you correct! Great, you worked on appliances for 45 years! Congratulations! If that's actually true, then you'd know 85% of dryer repair calls are either due to a clogged vent, or restricted airflow! And no it won't! Funny, we've been installing them since 1992! Vented THOUSANDS of dryers with my periscope! NEVER had a call back due to it blowing the element or anything! NEVER! Oh, and by the way, the periscope moves more CFM than flex as it is larger than a 4" round flex hose! Since it's the worst thing ever, give me some numbers! Something more than just your terrifying CAPITAL LETTERS! YIKES!!!
@@kennethmorgan4785 And again I ask, tell my what's better
@@advsLLC What's better is to crawl your lazy ass behind the dryer & use the new more rigid flex hose with proper elbows. I can't tell you how many times I've found these damn periscopes used that caused the dryer to blow the thermal fuse & stop working. Dryers are all about air flow, & anything that restricts it will cause problems. These boxes would work on OLD Dryers that did not have THERMAL FUSES, but even then, they were marginal at best. Don't fluff ip your chest & tell me I don't know what I'm talking about! I'm trying to save people an expensive service call by giving them FACTS !!! AND BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN SERVICING ALL BRANDS SINCE 1978!!!!! You need to read the instructions that come with a new dryer about proper venting. All manufacturers will tell you those boxes are GARBAGE!!
