Could someone post the links pertaining to dryer venting. I know Jae & RR posted some but the links I copied are no longer active.
The dryer vent today terminated on the roof. The dryer area was located in the middle of the home. I noted the flex material. The dryer vent in the picture is the one with the cap next to the plumbing stack. Thanks |

It's legal for it to terminate on the roof (although unsightly) and the flex ducting is okay within the room the dryer is in (solid 4in duct within the walls to the termination at the roof)
and no, these aren't the links you asked for: I'm certain someone will be along shortly though... - Mike Michael W. Gault, SC RBI 1728 A to Z Home Inspections Charleston, Dorchester & Berkeley Counties in S.C. NACHI05040682 www.atozinspector.com (843) 442-9755 Charleston Home Inspector |

Most dryer manufacturer's and some codes limit the dryer vent pipe length to 25'. Check installation instructions for specifics.

I don't believe he found anything that approved long corrugated or long plastic runs. All needed to be smooth metal.

Are those the types of posts that we're supposed to report so that they can be removed?
