It could, but 90 degree bends usually accumulate lint faster, and when I had to get a ddi house inspected for insurance a time they make me change the angle of it because it was a bit sharper than 90redmanjp wrote:so the semi-rigid can't bend 90 degrees? not sure how we placing teh dryer yet but the back might be towards the left instead of the back where the exterior wall is

do they have one with a flap which closes when the dryer is not in use?
Yeah that's what they saying, exhaust duct build up caught on fire... Usually there are fire arrestors right below the duct but I guess the employees couldn't deploy on timeKenjo wrote:Well that fire today in maraval was possibly due to a poorly cleaned duct system .they still have to finalize it but it’s being suspected

Older ones are. Which I give them the benefit of the doubt they have.

If that is true, then that system is poorly designed. No critical fire suppression system should depend on manual activation of the fire extinguishing media.

Just keep it clean every couple of months and you will be ok, avoid 90 degree or sharper bends. But if you are still paranoid thenstencil.blog-post-feature-22-min.jpegredmanjp wrote:I have a flexible foil type duct but now reading they might be a fire hazard. e just built a back room where the dryer used to be outside so we want to safely vent it outside. the new laundry room doesn't have it's own door and there's going to be a tv room close by. so any recommendations?
