Another Happy MagVent Customer

“I ordered MagVent MV-90 due to the very limited space behind my dryer. The space is so small, I have to pull the washing machine out in order to gain access to the back of the dryer. This is a true headache. I installed my new dryer a year ago, and it took hours to attach one simple bracket to the back of the dryer. I still had to worry about any movement of the dryer that could dislodge the vent from the back of the dryer. I happen to run across MagVent, and I knew installing the vent to the back of the dryer would be very simple. I would never have to worry about the vent dislodging again. You should clean your dryer vent regularly, especially myself since I have 3 teens and wash a lot of laundry. I found the installation to be simple. I look forward to just pulling the dryer out during servicing of the dryer vent without the worries.”

How to Install a MagVent in a Smaller than Standard Exit Vent…

     Sometimes, but not often, the manufacturers of dryer vent pipe will slightly narrow the end section of the pipe to accommodate attaching the standard flexible vent hose around the outside of it. Despite this, it is always preferable, and dictated by code in many areas, to have the dryer vent pipe installed inside the exit vent to have the seams of the vent path pointed in the direction of the air flow. 
     Since most dryer vent pipe is made of aluminum and is quite malleable, it is possible to widen the inside diameter enough to fit the MagVent inside. One could use something like the handle of a screwdriver, running it around the inside of the vent pipe to increase the inside diameter, and widen the opening. If that doesn’t work well enough, then one could crimp the tail end of the MagVent with a crimp tool or needle nose pliers. This should narrow the diameter of the MagVent enough to fit inside the vent pipe. The below pictures illustrate the crimping process. It is recommended to crimp the MagVent as little as possible, that way the MagVent still has a tight fit as well as the smoothest interior vent path possible.
