[QUOTE="H D, post: 997081, member: 68494"] That will most likely be fine, with some considerations: Make sure that you do a thorough cleaning of the pipes for lint and that there is a free flow of air. The more bends there are and the longer the distance, the more places for lint to get caught. Accumulated lint is a fire hazard and is incredibly flammable. Moving it up the wall may help with the number of bends you'll have but it most likely won't make a big difference in the distance. You don't want your pipe to be longer than 25 ft. to the exit and each 90* bend you have is equivalent to 5 feet. If those two 90* bends to get to the bottom of the wall put you over 25 ft. to exit, I'd go ahead and move the vent opening up to directly behind the exhaust on the dryer. [/QUOTE]
