[QUOTE="Gavin Allan, post: 997082, member: 60736"] Use hard metal ducting. I prefer galvanized steel ducting over aluminum, but that is just me. Do not use the plastic flixible tubing. It clogs up fast and has too much restriction. Be sure to tape all joints in the duct- do not screw them together, as the screws sticking into the duct will trap big balls of lint and clog it up. Try to keep the run as short as possible. Be sure the outdoor vent termination is non-restrictive (they used to use vents with a narrow opening- most newer ones are a full 4" deep. Always vent outdoors. Do not vent to an attic or crawlspace unless you don't mid if your house burns to the ground and/or grows black mold due to the humidity. [/QUOTE]
