Don't
use Foil or Vinyl Vents:
- They could be a fire hazard
- The rough interior allows more lint collection
- They can quickly be damaged, lacerated or split when cleaning
- If a dryer fire does occur the plastic or vinyl provides fuel to allow flames to spread swiftly
- Flexible foil vents can become crushed behind the dryer to inhibit airflow
- Vents constructed of low-grade material can sag creating low spots permitting water and lint to collect
Do
not Use PVC Vents:
- These also lead to a fire hazard
- Static in PVC venting can cause lint to attach to the inside of the vent walls, which can mix with the expelled water throughout a standard dry cycle, generating sludge and an increased risk of a fire
- PVC can sweat when warm moist air moves through the cool smooth area which can allow lint to collect and solidify and, successively, make cleanings more difficult
- It takes longer for PVC to heat up so water can remain in a vapor form within the line and couple with lint build-up to produce sludge inside the vent
Use
only Rigid Metal Venting:
- This is code compliant material for dryer vents
- The smooth interior finish will permit lint to go through freely to reduce build up
- It is evaluated the safest for containing a spark from inside the dryer to keep flames from spreading
