Needed To Add A Simple Low Cost Improvement Dryer Vent as sold doesn't adequately seal out cold air so I added an improvement. See photos and short video above.As sold the seal between the floating cup isn't adequate - it leaks and allows cold air in - helps but still not good enough. After adding the Frostking soft door seal the vent does seal well and does keep cold air out. You need this simple improvement to fully solve the problem of cold air flowing into your dryer vent tube -- the reason you bought this product in the first place.The foam weather stripping is light enough that it does not interfere with the floating cup's ability to float and permit hot moist air from escaping. It is also soft enough that it seals very effectively when the dryer is shut off. See short video indicating floating cup.How well the foam weather stripping hold up over time is to be determined but replacing it periodically is easy.As with many other reviewers the plastic the vent is molded from is brittle as received and I suspect contains no light stabilizers. I have a background in material engineering and polymers are routinely compounded with light stabilizers at trivial additional cost. Manufacturer could have simply specified plastic pellets containing UV stabilizer, they didn't bother. Shame on them for not paying attention to this important detail. 2A Must-Have Dryer Vent AccessoryThis wonderful contraption now replaces my contractor-grade louvered dryer vent. I live in Minneapolis and the winter here are cold--sometimes VERY cold. Over this past winter, I especially noticed that the metal dryer duct in my basement laundry room was quite cold to the touch. I've been making a number of improvements to the home over the past year around air sealing and insulating. All of the work has proven worth the effort, but when it came to the dryer vent and how I could reduce cold outside air from coming into the home, I was a bit stumped. Until I found this.Knowing that UV light would eventually break down the plastic, I began by prepping it for paint. I used steel wool to scuff the surface, then sprayed it with plastic-compatible paint that I had on-hand. This paint serves as a primer for the flat outdoor latex paint that will be applied later in the summer. Once it's applied, the vent color will match the house's paint and won't stand out as it does in the attached images. I constructed a shim using a section of 3/4" pine board, allowing the foot of the elbow to have a totally flat surface, allowing a strong seal with the house's siding.Also, I removed the mounting bracket from the removable top because the pitch of the siding didn't allow the top to sit on properly. It's no matter, as the top sits on very well and seals solidly simply with the press-fit connection. I don't have any concerns about the upper chamber or the lid coming off from high winds or storms. You really have to give it a solid tug to get it to come off of the elbow base.Highly recommended. It's not cheap, but it's the best thing I've see to do this job. It's the summer now, so I can't make any comments about whether it fully stops ambient air from entering, but based on the design, I'm fully confident it'll do its job as designed. 5Great vent make sure that you have enough room to install it thoughI loved the idea of this dryer vent and wanted to install but I ran into a slight issue. It sticks out a lot further than I was expecting and I was limited on the depth. I should have measured my outside vent area before purchasing but that's my fault. Overall if you are not limited on the depth of your outside dryer vent I would recommend it. I do have to caution that the instructions that came with the vent mentioned that it contained screws which it did not this could have been the result of many things so I would pick some up at a local hardware store just to be safe. The other item that kind of disappointed me was the fact that the plastic material that this is made out of is not UV resistant the instructions state to paint it with some sort of UV resistant paint. I'm not sure if this is some limitation on there end but I would have thought it would have come already painted with a clear UV coat or something similar. Again this a small issue you just simply pick some sort of UV coating up from the store to remedy this. 4Dryer Vent - new and innovativeWas replacing old dryer vent, and came across this one, a bit different but great design and does what it says. My goal was to keep outside air from coming in to the dryer, for us in TX, will be more noticeable for us in winter where it was most noticeable cold air in dryer. I will say it's rather large, so look at dimensions carefully. When I got it, comparatively, it's close to the size of a gallon of milk.The install was pretty easy, I did have to buy an 4" extension piece at the Depot, and it does sit away from my brick wall about a half inch (which I just siliconed up the gap nicely). The screws that came with it are pretty short, so did have some longer ones handy that I ended up using. I did use a drill to put the screws in, and did use an extension on my drill bit as getting the drill close to the lower curved pipe was in the way (wanted to get the screw in nice and square without stripping it).As it's an off-white color, it really stands out on the wall so I camo'd it using a red and burgundy Krylon spray paint for plastic (that came out okay but I'm no artist, wife was good with it so we're good) and I'll try to upload a picture so you can see it. I did see the comment on the lid flying off, and I can see where that might happen on a very windy day and it's not a lid you can find a replacement for (without buying a new unit) so I ended up putting a screw on the upper bracket to secure it a bit more in place (will try to put picture of this as well).Now just waiting for my neighbors to start asking what the hell that thing is on my wall... :) 5Exactly How I Painted MineTotally blocked the cold air that always infiltrated my laundry room. I mounted it directly to my outside brick face, had to drill new mounting holes larger to take the masonry screws, no problem. Here is exactly how I painted it, worked great: (1) Clean and de-grease with vinegar solution. I was lazy, so I soaked a medium-sized hand towel with water then just poured some white vinegar on the soaked towel, squeezed it a little to mix, then wiped all the parts down. Liberally rinsed under tapwater and let dry for 24 hours. (2) Hot-glued the parts to arm-length sticks so I could hold them for spray-painting. Heated later to remove, no paint damage from heat. Also masked mating surfaces with 3M Blue or circular paper-plate cutouts, Chinet heavy duty to be exact. (3) Sprayed 3 very light coats of Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter, 5 minutes apart. See pic attached for exact can of Dupli-Color I used. (4) Waited another 5 minutes then sprayed 4 very light coats of Krylon Fusion White Gloss, 5 minutes apart. See pic for exact can of Krylon I used. All this spraying was done at 50-55 degrees F, outside, slight wind. (5) Let dry/cure inside for 8 days. Then removed hot-glued sticks and masking and installed. 5Nice product that could be betterI purchased this vent to replace a completely clogged flapper vent for the dryer. I removed the old vent and found that the existing 4" pipe would not insert into the end of the vent. The base of the vent is exactly 4" in diameter and the female side will not go in. I purchased a 4 foot, 4" aluminum pipe and inserted the male end into the dryer vent then back through the wall. Since I have 5" lap siding and this vent needs to be vertical, I purchased cedar lap siding and cut it 7" wide to make up for the slope in the siding then caulked behind and around it. It does work well and will help keep the laundry room warmer in winter.To improve this product, I would make the vent connection 4-1/16" in diameter so the male end of a 4" aluminum pipe would fit inside. Conversely, the connection side could be made 3-7/8" in diameter and extending out an inch so an aluminum duct could fit over the end. 4This thing is amazing, completely took the cold away Our laundry and laundry room was a ice box. This thing is amazing, completely took the cold away. My main concern was making sure the gas is not backing into the house. I didn t see any comments on that but decided to buy it anyways. I didn t realize how much pressure a dryer puts out of the exhaust. When it s running and you open the lid to this thing the cup will pop up(see video), so I have no worries about gas backing up. It s a really good design. The company is dumb they don t paint the thing white, but three dollar can of spray paint fixes that. 5Great Dryer Vent CoverThis is a great vent cover, especially if your dryer vent is surrounded with foliage and might eventually interfere with the functionality of the louvered type. In this one, the moving parts are all on the inside. One takes the cover off only to clean out the dryer duct (which should be performed annually, NO MATTER HOW CLEAN YOU KEEP YOUR DRYER LINT FILTER).It says that you can paint the closure. I used brown primer (I have a brick house) since plastic tends to photo oxidize). So far, it is working well. 5Makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE vs the standard cheap flappy thingy!We had a noticeably cold laundry room near our dryer, and this vent closure makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE vs the cheap useless plastic flappy vent cap!I'm a little ashamed about how happy I am with this product, because after all - it's just a dryer vent cap. We originally had one of the standard cheap flappy thingies outside which was doing virtually nothing, especially since the darn thing was half clogged open with lint. When it was really cold outside, our laundry room felt as cold as if a window was open (it has no windows). Dry clothes we left inside after the dryer was finished would be so cold they almost felt wet. Not only was the 4-inch diameter hole leaking tons of heated air, freezing the crap out of the dryer probably hurt its efficiency too. But, this product fixed all these problems!!!! For an easy 10-15 minute installation (most time spent chipping away excess mortar from previous sloppy installation), our laundry room no longer feels like a meat locker.Pros:Surprisingly easy install, most time consuming part was brick wall.Saves money and energy! (Couldn't find actual figures)Makes the laundry room much more comfortable.Laundry room no longer a meat locker in winter!Looks kinda sci-fy outside.Brick wall gave me an excuse to use my hammer drill!Cons:Can no longer use the freezing cold of the laundry room as an excuse to avoid doing laundry.I'm a little ashamed at how excited I got about the difference this made, I may need to get out more. 5The top cover had cracked from being in direct sun for over 13 years but the rest was in great condition. Rather than just orderI am an engineer and have looked for years for a quality dryer vent that would never fail to operate (open) and when not operating would seal itself to prevent bugs from entering and the loss of conditioned air. This dryer vent is simple and does it all. Although expensive, it is worth the price. I recently purchased a home where this vent was installed and found that it functions perfectly. The top cover had cracked from being in direct sun for over 13 years but the rest was in great condition. Rather than just order just a replacement cover I purchased a complete new unit. I know I will get another decade out of this replacement. If you are looking for a quality product, this is the one! I am taking the time to praise this design to let others know there is really a great product out there. 5
