the outlet to my drying machine is equally as wide as the outlet hole to the outside so a lot of times it just disconnects and spews roughly half of the hot laundry air into my house how do I fix this?I already tried just shoving the air pipe thing into it and taping it but I guess the heat makes the tape not work
There's supposed to be some flex hose in there somewhere
>>2888348yeah that's what I meant the flex hose that connects the dryer to the outlet is like the exact same radius as the outlet, sorry the picture is kinda ass but it's there
instead of tape, drill two tiny holes through both hose and pipe, one on each sidethen screw two tiny screws to hold it all togetheror pass a dollar-store steel wire though from side to side, bending extremities down so it stays in placesounds janky but this is what the ventilation guys do all the time, drill holes and put screws or rivets
>>2888375>screw two tiny screws to hold it all togetherThis works but the sheet metal screws like to catch lint so I don’t recommend if from my experiences. I would say do it and check for lint buildup every few months but nobody is ever going to do that because getting behind the driver is always a pain in the ass. Haven’t burnt a house down yet, but that much lint so close to the heating element can’t be good
Hose clamp, metal foil tape for warm ducts and three self-tapping screws if you really feel like it. It's not going anywhere.
>>2888342The flex hose should go OVER the dryer connection. Like outside the duct. Fit it on as best you can and then sort of spin it. Best way I know how to describe it. If you’re still having trouble with it fitting try bending some of the dryer duct part just slightly to give you some extra wiggle room. I would still tape it, but it’s a special type of foil tape you need to use. Probably better off just getting a hose clamp
