“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!
