Appl. Install Kits dn69 Semi Rigid Dryer Vent 8 Feet

Product Description

The APPL. INSTALL KITS dn69 is an 8-foot semi-rigid dryer vent duct designed to exhaust hot, moist air from a residential clothes dryer to an exterior termination point. One end is crimped for easy insertion into adjacent duct sections or the dryer outlet collar. The opposite end is plain, allowing the installer to cut, crimp, or connect as the job requires. Semi-rigid construction holds its shape under compression while still allowing minor bends and offsets behind appliances where space is tight. HVAC technicians and appliance installers use this type of duct when a flexible foil duct is not acceptable under local code or manufacturer requirements.

This vent duct is suited for residential laundry installations where the dryer must be routed through a short run to an exterior wall cap or roof termination. The semi-rigid aluminum construction is a common code-compliant alternative to flexible plastic or foil duct in applications where the local authority having jurisdiction requires smooth-wall or near-smooth-wall exhaust paths. It is typically installed during new appliance hookup, appliance relocation, or duct replacement service calls.

Key Features

• 8-foot length provides sufficient reach for most short dryer exhaust runs
• One factory-crimped end for direct insertion into dryer outlet or adjacent fitting
• One plain end for field cutting, crimping, or clamping to fit the termination
• Semi-rigid construction holds shape while allowing minor directional adjustments
• Compatible with standard 4-inch residential dryer duct fittings and wall caps

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation duct for residential dryer exhaust systems requiring a semi-rigid vent duct connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an appliance installer or HVAC technician. Disconnect and unplug the dryer from its power source before removing or connecting any ductwork. Secure all joints with foil-backed tape or approved clamps — sheet metal screws are generally not permitted inside dryer duct per mechanical codes, as screw tips catch lint. Consult the dryer manufacturer instructions and local mechanical code for maximum allowable duct length and number of elbows before completing the installation.
