flexible metal vent, the other end to the
exhaust hood. Tape joints and tighten

Using 4=inch flexible metal vent:
NOTE: Do not secure exhaust vent joints
with screws. Screws can catch lint and
slow the drying process. Instead, use
clamps to secure exhaust vent joints.
STEP 1. Install a 4-inch metal elbow on
the exhaust hood and, if necessary, on
the dryer exhaust outlet.
STEP 2. Measure the length of 4-inch
flexible metal vent needed from the dryer

STEP 6. Stretch the vent only as
needed by pulling out from the center
in each direction. Do not stretch vent
sections over 6 feet. If distance is more
than 6 feet, use 2 or more sections of
heavy metal vent with flexible metal vent
attached at ends.
STEP 7. Connect the vent directly to
the dryer outlet or to a separate elbow.
Tape the joints with duct tape. Secure
with clamps.
STEP 8. To fit the flexible metal vent
over the duct on the hood it may be
necessary to make two 1/2-inch cuts in
the end of the flexible vent to allow it
to expand.
