The present invention can also be used with a typical flat louvered vent, metal grading or the like, basically any structure used for a dryer vent. Between the hood portion 12 and the tube 16 is a plate 20 having a nailing flange 22 which attaches to the side of the building and defines opening 18. The hood 12 is designed to face away from the exterior of the building with the tube 16 extending into the building. The present invention is a dryer vent 10 shown with a hood portion 12, a rearwardly extended tubular extension or tube member 16 which extends from circular opening 18. 3 is a perspective view of the present invention partially in phantom and partially broken away. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken at lines 2-2 of FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention.įIG. The objects and advantages of the present invention will be further appreciated in light of the following detailed descriptions and drawings in which: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGSįIG. This allows the existing duct to simply slide within the tube to provide an adequate connection between the dryer vent and the duct. In other words, the internal diameter of the interior side edge is wider than the internal diameter of the tube at its extension side. The tube portion extends inwardly approximately two to three inches and its interior most surface has an interior diameter that increases as it extends away from the vent. The vent includes an inwardly extended tube portion. More particularly, the present invention is an external vent adapted to be attached to the exterior of a building. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONĪccordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide a dryer vent wherein the dryer vent can be replaced without replacing the metal duct which extends through the house. This, however, is impossible with current structures because the metal tube is typically attached to the hood or louvered vent by a small channel that extends either only to the exterior surface of the building or slightly inwardly approximately an inch. It would be preferable, however, to simply replace the exterior hood or louvered vent without replacing the internal metal tubing.
#Quick connect dryer vent install
This is relatively time consuming in that it requires the individual to disconnect the dryer, move it out of the way and the install the new dryer vent. In such situations the old dryer vent must be replaced and a complete new dryer vent installed with a new metal tube extending back through the wall.
When houses are remodeled, it is typical to replace these dryer vents particularly if vinyl siding is being applied to the exterior of the building. This in turn is attached to the dryer via a flexible duct or sheet metal duct.
Easy to install and built to last.Dryer vents typically include an external hood or louvered vent which attaches to a metal tube which extends through a building wall. The EZ Dryer Vent is the perfect solution, increasing your dryer efficiency and safety while decreasing your cost. The seal is tight and will absorb vibration. Now moving the dryer is easy for cleaning or retrieving that lost sock, then slide the dryer back into place. Just attach the box unit to the wall then connect the magnetic boot to the back of the dryer and it snaps into place. The EZ Dryer Vent has a magnetic attachment to the vent box for a tight seal that uses no vent hoses. Overall, this produces a dramatic drag on the dryers efficiency and increases costs considerably. Lint accumulation builds up in the bend and can become a fire hazard. This reduces air movement and produces friction. Typically the dryer flex line is attached from the dryer to the exhaust pipe with a 90 degree bend. Made from industrial strength materials.Improves air flow and dryer time, saving you money.Reduces the fire hazard of clogged ducting with quick access for cleaning.Easy to move your dryer, connect and disconnect is a snap.If you pull the dryer from the wall you will have to climb over it to reattach and reconnect the vent hose. Have you ever tried to move your dryer to get behind to clean or find a lost sock and disconnected the ducting? Dryers require clamping the vent hose on either end for a tight seal. The EZ Dryer Vent is the quick way to connect or disconnect your dryer to the vent system.
