“I must say that this was one of the most fun DIY projects that I have done this year!
My dryer did not vent correctly prior to the installation of the MV-180. There were two four-inch pieces of duct tubing stuck together, (see before picture), which caused lint to get caught at the point where they connected. Someone had duct taped them together. I needed to change the in the wall venting to be solid, and then I could attach your MV-180.
Part of my problem is that I live in an apartment on a second floor so I do not have access to a ladder and the outside vent. By carefully bending the wall tubing I was able to get it to vent to the outside, (see through the duct).
Another issue that I had is to raise the dryer up about half an inch to bring the dryer connected tubing closer to the wall, so I installed some dampening cushions on the legs of the dryer, (see height risers). This helped tremendously. The height risers also provide sound deadening so my downstairs neighbor cannot hear when I run the dryer.
Like you all say, it’s really easy. When I was finished, I just slid the dryer closer to the wall and the super magnets did the work of connecting the tubing to the wall, no leaks or anything.
Very satisfying! Thanks!
