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.

This Builder's Best kit may cost more that the cheap hoses, but it was well worth the cost because it was so easy to install and it stayed in place after the dryer was pushed against the wall. The "secret" is that the ends of the 90 degree elbow are able to rotate which allows easy positioning when the dryer is pulled out. In addition, the hose is stiff enough to hold its shape as it's pushed against the wall. Where the cheap hose would bend and kink and restrict the airflow, the Builder's Best hose is very rigid and can easily hold a 90 degree turn.
I wish I bought this years ago. Our clothes are even drying faster due to the unrestricted airflow provided by the stiff, yet pliable, dryer vent hose. It's well worth the additional cost.
Its a nasty job cleaning that lint and I never want to do it again. So I purchased the second lint filter box and placed a waste basket below it, so for every wash, the lint that gets past the filter will be removed.
This product, while 8 feet is a stretch on length, has very nice connectors including a swivel female connector for the dryer output and a male couple for the other end. Cuts nice with a scissors and easy to attach to the filter box. Sturdy enough for this purpose, handle with care. I think if I had a longer run than three feet or any vertical without a filter, I would use sheet metal or pvc as the corrugated is going to collect more lint.

Buen material se fabricación
Take your time extending the ducting and it works very well with an easy to connect dryer flange and
clamps to secure the vent to dryer and dryer exhaust vent.
Very pleased with the installation.
