Product Description

This 084718 Single Elbow Kit is a UL 2158A Approved dryer transition duct. It is made out of 100% aluminum and thus is also recommended by clothes dryer manufacturers. The kit includes: one 8 foot UL 2158A Approved 100% aluminum flexible semi-rigid dryer vent duct, one aluminum Close Elbow, and two steel screw clamps. The UL Approved flexible pipe has one crimped (male) fitting which fits into most wall pipes. The Close Elbow maintains a 4. 5 inch 90 degree turn and features swiveling fittings which help you direct the airflow. The clamps are designed to resist stretching and are used to secure dryer and wall connections. This kit will take 4. 5 inches to 6 inches of clearance behind the dryer. The International Mechanical Code (IMC 504. 6. 3) recommends UL 2158A listed and labeled transition ducts. The International Residential Code (IRC M1502. 4. 3) recommends UL 2158A listed and labeled transition ducts. Clothes dryer manufacturers specify "Only rigid or flexible metal vent shall be used for exhausting. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. " A typical laundry room uses approximately 8 feet of duct. The Single Elbow Kit is built in the USA by Builder's Best.

40 customers mention28 positive12 negative

Customers like the fit of the hose pipe fitting. They say it's sturdy, durable, and fits perfectly to the back of the dryer and into the airflow duct. It's a tight fit for dryer to exhaust pipe, and it'll minimize the length. The tubing grows to fit the area, and can be reversed to fit application space.

Customers are satisfied with the material of the hose pipe fitting. They mention that it is made of thick sterner material, and is easy to maneuver. The tubing is thick enough and works well. The product is completely standard type of aluminum duct, and it complies with all relevant standards.

Customers like the air flow of the hose pipe fitting. They mention that the full 4" ID throughout allows air to flow nicely, even through the bends. They also appreciate the unrestricted airflow provided by the stiff, yet pliable, dryer vent hose.

"...In addition, the hose is stiff enough to hold its shape as it's pushed against the wall...." Read more

"...It was a little tough to work with, because it was so rigid, but I think that is what makes it better than the foil type which are supposed to be..." Read more

"...It's fairly sturdy and bendable...." Read more

Minimum length is about 3 feet
4 Stars
Minimum length is about 3 feet
Fully compressed length of duct is about 34". My application required shorter and so would have required cutting the duct and reassembling the kit. Rather, I decided to order equivalent separate elbow and duct for less.
