It’s a jet head. A mushroom shaped fitting with One orfice facing forward on the tip, and 3 or 5 on the underside of the “mushroom cap” facing rearward. The rearward ones propel the air hose and fitting forward while blowing the material out the hole. The forward facing one loosens the material. As you work the fitting in and out, it loosens the material and blows it backwards out the hole.
Thank you! I just posted this question on another of his videos. I couldn’t imagine how it was going forward since the cable is not stiff. I think I have a better picture now. Thanks
He doesn’t do that for the videos as it is more dramatic on camera. It takes more time to cleanup but the video views more than make that up. They make mesh bags that you can put over the vent and feed the hose through, and they also have special vacuum collars that you can setup; but both really don’t let an audience see what is flying out.
@@keithcleary7341 yeah you need get an industrial/commercial vacuum. The ones designed for vent work usually run a 2 or 2.5 in hose run at 300-600 cfm. Your large high end shop vacs (the ones running at 10-12 amps) will work if you take it slow, but not your average 3-5 gallon consumer one running at 40-75 cfm.
They are lucky the dryer didn't catch on fire. Never run a dryer on high. If the vent flow is restricted the dryer will get hotter until it catches the lint on fire. Never leave a dryer unattended while running like turning on a leaving the house.
The reason it’s blocked? That should have only had to go in 21 feet! The vent run is waaaaay toooooo long! Most clothes dryers have a max run of 30 feet equivalent length. There will be at least 2 90 degree bends equal to 5 ft each equivalent length so you should have no more then 20 feet of straight pipe. I’ve never had a blocked vent on my clothes dryer my vent is 12 ft equivalent length. 2 90 degrees bends hard pipe no screws and 2 ft straight pipe no screws. It gets checked every year. Home builders don’t care they just want the payday.
I just go to Lowe’s and buy a new dryer vent hose and go under my house and change out the old one with the new one and then there are no clogs ever….it keeps the flow going and no buildup.
@@keithcleary7341 there are no clogs ever because I go under the house and change the dryer vent hose since that’s where it’s located…it goes from the back of the dryer to the floor then from under the floor (under the house) to the exhaust vent
@@MEEMOSS77 you’re making that sound easier than just having it cleaned is my point. Dryer lines are exhausted differently in different homes and most ppl don’t wanna go “under” their home.
@@keithcleary7341 I have a hose clamp on both ends so I open/loosen it from each end then put the new hose around the metal tubes (one at the floor and one at the exhaust vent and then just tighten the clamps back up. At Lowe’s the dryer vent hose is $20 and the clamps are $7 which is a lot cheaper than paying someone to clean it out and no build up because it’s a brand new hose. And IF I were to change it once a year (I don’t) then I only spend $20 to ensure no fires will occur
jasonsdryerventcleaning@gmail.com I love to help!! You gotta admit that for the most part, people are just awesome here!! we love it when it’s above 20° and are happy with it😂😂
@@jasonsdryerventcleaning5543I would like to get into some sort of business like this. Do you have to pitch this to new customers? Or did you have a previous business that already had customers and maybe you sold them on this idea? I'm just curious because it seems difficult to find a lot of people that would pay for this to be done. Anyways love your videos dude
Look for Vac Systems Dryer Cleaning Kit. They make both the directed nozzles some forward facing and others reverse, air spinning air brush, the fiberglass rods with a manual brush, and vacuum accessories for dryers and hvac cleaning.
What a mess. Do you have to clean that up as part of the cleaning contract? Have you thought about connecting a filter bag with a hole in it to push the hose through to save yourself a lot of cleanup time?
Good tip for anyone ever renovating. Do not put in flex dryer venting. Use straight solid vent systems. Do not use screws at the joints as they cause lint buildup. Also pay some attention to the way the joints face and how they fit to not trap lint. Finally Install a secondary dust filter. Do this and you’ll probably need them cleaned once every 50 years.
Depends on how good you are with your dryer lint trap. Every 5-7 years is probably good if you’re good. The best way to tell is if you turn on your dryer, then go to the vent outlet. If putting your hand over it feels like a hair dryer, or maybe someone blowing aggressively against your hand you are good. If the air flow is more like someone breathing, you have some blockages.
I wonder how many times that elbow came disconnected and all you're doing is blowing out wall insulation. I bet it's going to be a cold winter for them. I'm just kidding... It's very possible using that method I do this, type of work. all the time, but you might want to think about that.

I bought one last night after watching these vids.
Can’t wait to work the neighborhood over for beer $$. 😂
Same tool we use to thaw frozen culverts under roads in the spring.
Thank you for that information. I was wondering how it worked.
Seems to wrk real well!
Thank you! I just posted this question on another of his videos. I couldn’t imagine how it was going forward since the cable is not stiff. I think I have a better picture now. Thanks
Maybe put a shop vac hose under the hole to catch it as it comes out? Time is $$$$$$$..

They make mesh bags that you can put over the vent and feed the hose through, and they also have special vacuum collars that you can setup; but both really don’t let an audience see what is flying out.
Or make an attachment that fits the duct
Maybe he charges by the hour, so it'd be to his benefit to take longer.
A shop vac will immediately clog with just a fraction of that lint and you'll still have a mess to clean up.

In a perfect world, yes! But I would be unemployed😂
Not that they shouldn't diy it but if you gonna you should do it more often. We do ours every 6 months and it's a short 10 foot run.
Where can I get one of them to clean my dryer vent? Amazon is showing some other system

I just ripped out all the aluminum piping and ran a mop through it, worked fine
Make an attachment for a shopvac that fits the 4" duct
Yeah, real skill there. Beyond DIY
Lol. No. You can buy all of that yourself very cheap.
So satisfying!
Is that compressed air you're using to clean this out
Great way to start a fire. Vent cleaner guy was almost a day late!!!
You got that right!
What tool is that?

Can you explain how the dust is coming out using that tube looks cool but have no idea how it’s all coming out
218 representing
This is the real oddly satisfying stuff. Saving houses!
I agree. Watching all the stuff come out is interesting. Maybe that is the remains of old socks?
What about catching lint with vacuum and air hose in on the side, evolution?
Bet they love talking shit about them too 😂
Maybe the hoses for dryers shouldnt have more then ,,3' hoses of folks canf figure out how to clean them before the 10-20yr mark.
I want one of those nozzles
Show us the tool you are using please
Part of me misses living up there, but I definitely don't want to go back.
😮 I'm wondering how far did the customer get with DIY before they realized that they had blocked the vent and needed to call you
What equipment you have
Make dryers like in the uk with internal filters! Problem solved 😂
Where do I buy one of these.
Where can I get that tool from
How do I know if I have someone in my area?
Short run on the dryer vent, place it close to an outside wall on construction, USE PVC. Mine is a breeze to flush out.
Isnt that one of the largest causes for home fires with dryers?
I live an hour south near Fergus falls
I get that way!! Otter Tail County is my stomping grounds 👊 jasonsdryerventcleaning@gmail.com
Mines 3 feet...
How do I start up a company like that.
How did they keep from having a fire ?
Crazy !
Right 😮
Saying hi from Fargo! Madison Elementary school area!
I know im okay diy. My bore scope showed me that I am good.
If I were you I’d invest in a proper mask!! #lungcancer springs to mind with all that micro debris…

5 minute clean out. 2 hour clean up 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Used to live in this city
Guy must have eyes of steel
Omg!
Should have called steamatic. They don't make a mess like that lol😂
Laughing 😂
So where are the 🧦 😂
Why not hold a vac up to the vent hole? You’re blowing it all over the neighborhood 😢
It's snowing 😂
They need a auger
We would love for you to clean ours😂
Where do you live? I service a pretty large area.😁
@@jasonsdryerventcleaning5543 I live 15 miles south of Moorhead in Comstock
Why not have a shop vac to catch all that? Making more work for yourself
Holy crap
💰💰💰💯💯 Money
He lost credibility when he was shocked when all the lint came out.
Not Suprised

I hope you don't leave all that shit
But when you hire somebody to do this they charge you lots of money
Not as much as i thought they didnt do half bad
There’s gotta be a better way to collect the fluff flying out the whole
Guy on the other end keeps adding. Con.
Every good man loves More head
Why aren’t you wearing eye protection
People need to start cleaning out their bellybuttons
Someone’s feeding the dust and lint from the inside
How they missed that up you just blowing air
People should have there dryers on an exterior wall and then the vent is only 12 inches long.
What’s that cost?
$129
Well I bet he bought that machine for future
