Nice install Tom, but you should maybe read the dryer manual for length of vent. The propane dryers I installed years ago with 4” vent outlet on the dryer, maximum vent length was 14’. Great tips and information. Have a good day. 👍🏻👋
From the research I did maximum dryer vent is 35 feet -5 feet for every 90° bend so taking all that into consideration I’m about 28 feet total with the deductions so I guess we’ll see how it works. Might have to put a booster on it down the road.
Yes 5’ for each 90 degree elbow. Fans must be better on the new dryers for a 35’ run. Good flow with that. I suppose a person could put 5” vent pipe if needed. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
From when I looked up, maximum dryer distance is 35 feet with the new dryers. My total length there is 17 feet but for every fitting 90° bend you use you’re supposed to subtract 5 feet so it’s putting me right 28 feet of length so I guess we’re gonna find out. Haha

Is that long run a problem for dryers? I've always seen them pretty close to an outside wall. Thanks for the great advice

@fatefarmspa gotcha. So many things to keep track of when you're building a house
@@remoteandrestless it really is unreal
Great tips on diy dryer vent install. I dont think the smoke test is overboard. If you got it, use it. 👍🏻
Thanks, Josh
Makes total sense that a screw would catch lint. I also got rid of the flexible plastic exhaust pipe and switched to aluminum.
Yeah, the flex pipe is not a good idea at all in my opinion as well
