I have a vent box that's recessed behind my dryer and I bought the MagVent and it works great. My dryer for the first time is totally pushed back up against the wall, best value for the money and gave me more floor space in the laundry room .
These are great! Very useful. Keep in mind, though.... HD dryers have a sensor telling the machine if the air flow is slow in exiting. This will cause the temp to go down as a precaution. I got a new house with an HD. I put one of these vents on the back, as with all of my previous dryers. Eventually I noticed that the dryer wasn't getting very hot. Finally, after taking 2 hours to dry a load of towels.... I called a repairman. he told me that there is an air flow sensor in most HD units. Mine sensed a slower flow due to the sharp turn, and automatically lowered the temp. He put a normal vent tube on it and I had my hot air back! it is not a danger with the air flow, while using the unit shown in the video. It's the high tech idiots who have to add all the BS on the new appliances. So if your temp goes down a bit after installing one, take it off, put a normal one on (with dryer pulled away from wall) and see if there's a difference... before calling a $100/visit from repairman.
I like the magnet idea. I had this situation with my dryer and I moved the vent opening on the dryer to the side of the dryer instead of the back. Was super easy to do on my unit.
Dude are you fricking kidding me...that is sooooo slick and I want one !!!! Mine looks pretty much like the before picture and it has always made me a little uncomfortable....not only from a safety perspective but how it looks too. I had no idea they made these things. Already have it in my shopping list. Excellent installation video too brother. Well done !!!
@@benburnett8109 I don't see why at all. Having the hose all bent and coiled around is a lot more unsafe. Still getting one. It's in my wish list already.
Looks much better with the MV. The dryer vent is a point of ingress for rats and mice. I would recommend a bead of silicon around the vent where it meets the wall. And (as you said) a screen or vent cover on the outside ,
Mine not only goes to the wall, it goes up the outside of the wall into a hole in the ceiling and then empties out into the space under the roof of my family room. Doesn't even vent out to the outside. What a great builder.
It's really dangerous get that fixed! Plus the damp lint and humidity in the exhaust is going into the soffit of your roof and will cause damage to the rafters and plywood on the roof.
@@rjb6327 It will be very easy to fix when you are building your new house...............AFTER YOUVE BURNT THE OLD HOUSE TO THE GROUND. Because your new house will be forced to follow code. Good luck. Hope you have FANTASTIC HOME OWNERS INSURANCE
Thats ridiculous. You r sending warm moist air into your attic. There are many ways to fix this. All of them too much for you since you know about and havent done anything about it
Nice upgrade. Also the snake of extra tubing has a habbit of slowing down the exhaust and collecting a whole bunch of lint. Then you start noticing that the clothes take a lot longer to dry burning up electricity. This is what I experienced with my setup. I will do this upgrade in the near future.
I used this connector in my recent laundry renovation. Certainly not cheap but it is easy to install, works really well and will minimize lint buildup. A great product!!
I like the idea of this dryer connection. I, myself would try to eliminate the flex hose because it looks like it makes the dryer stick farther out from the wall by about 4-5".
While you’re at it you better repair that dryer cable that’s hanging out of the connector on the back of the dryer. The inner conductors are exposed. (1:03)😊
Thank you for this video. This solves my problem. I'm redoing my laundry room and I was trying to figure out what else can I do besides using that old foil tubing. Awesome.
This is a great idea and I'll probably get one of these. But I do want to mention that whoever owned that dryer was not doing annual duct cleaning because that was a whole lot more than a Year's worth of Lent and that ductwork and the way they ran it, it was just a fire waiting to happen. That new vent system you installed will also make it extremely easy to clean it using the cleaning kits that are available to clean with the dryer in place.
I did this using traditional solid dryer ducting. I just made sure the dryer exhaust perfectly lined up with the drier duct coming out of the wall. Then I carefully slid the dryver back until it was fully connected.
Great video - I think the 180 will work for me, but with a bit more hose. You have so much space to work in and your knees aren't ancient :) Thanks again!
I used a similar hookup back in 2007 in my new house except it didn’t use any magnets and no extra duct had to be purchased. The flat duct could be slid back and forth to align the it with the dryer outlet. It’s still working fine.
Took me about 30 seconds of video to buy one of these. The wall mount goes first at dryer height then you decide path out. For years I’ve had a scary mix of periscope and flex running up and back down to similar location to yours. This ends leaks, fear and dries better I’m sure and is not ugly. Thanks
That sharp 90 degree bend will affect air flow especially if you happen to have a long vent pipe run to outside wall. But I can see how in certain situations it would be a good choice. I would like to know if the magnetic connection has different designs to choose from.
Hooked it up. Didn't even know it existed before I saw your video, so thank you. My bunched up hose was getting clogged up constantly and burned out my heater coil. Hopefully this will put an end to that!
it looks like a good replacement for that flex vent. I went one better. when I redid the siding on my house, I installed my vent so I could fit the fitting on the dryer directly into the exterior vent.
I would hope for a horizonal pipe going out the bottom of the wall to the ouside . I would expect lint to build up , how quickly ? Then to be a potential fire as you cannot see the build up of lint . And do you really think you will check it and clean it as necessary .
I'm venting my dryer into the wash room in winter and into the garage in summer as it is right beside the house. The warm, moist air helps warm the house in winter and we only do 2 loads a week.
Thank you. I need to do something because what I have right now is not working. I have a lot of hose because I have to get enough hose so when I pull out the dryer I need extra long hose.
Great Product. Nice install job , You left one step out , you should of clean and caulk around where the vent stubs out from wall , 5 min fix , make it look professional !
I like the system and your video made it look simple. One thing I would do differently is I would not tape the duct to the exterior wall section so that I could easily disassemble the duct for cleaning.
Man you’re videos are the best! Keep up the great work. Your videos are so informative and easy to follow. I’m sure I can speak on behalf of your followers, thank you! Keep up the excellent work.
? @traybern Irregardless of the commenters fo paw, do you think you're comment is going to correct there behavior???? Their, I put as many question marks as you did exclamation points. Have a good day! And @Fixthis House, great video!!
Nice job didn't know this existed well explained, but if i may say, i noticed that when you showed the Electric cord, the part going inside the dryer wasn't very well inserted into the connector... Hope you fixed that before running the dryer !!! Seems that i wasn't the only one that noticed this
FTH.....good job..... but will the magnetic coupling hold a seal in all condition ? Doesn't magnetic add to the static charge that can and does accumulate? Very generous thanks for sharing
Never used anything like this before. But then I never loved anywhere long enough with in unit laundry that it would have made a difference. (I have just set a new record for the longest I have kept one address - 4 years - and the laundry is right next to my apartment - a 20 foot walk.)
My challenge is adapting this Magvent system to a wall vent that is approximately 4.5 feet above the floor. Question: Can you have the wall attachment (near the floor) rotated so that the exhaust portion points about 45 degrees up? Other ideas? Thanks for a great lesson.
They look nice and that magnetic attachment looks like a great idea however the 90 degree redirect is an airflow obstruction. You will be needing to clean that out more than usual. Ascetically it's beautiful however mechanically it's not as functional.
Since the bend is 90 degree, is there any issue with the flow? Transitional pipe designs calls for bend of 2 times the diameter of the pipe being bent.
Why? This is not a upgrade actually, the initial 90 degree turn this thing makes is horrible and restricts air flow. More clean up for you and you buying a new dryer more frequently. Just because something "looks good" doesn't make it good.
Our dryer vent goes through the floor to the solid aluminum vent pipe in the basement, out the back of the house to the outdoors. Can this MV90 be turned so it goes straight down into the pipe under the floor?
The last step - where it clicks with magnets together... how hard is it to uncouple it? Will just pulling the dryer out work? I worry about the corregated aluminum section. 1. Trapping lint and 2. Stretching out to the full 12" long you said it was before the magnets will uncouple. Wouldn't a straight short piece of metal ducting solve both problems? Though I understand the kit comes with the flexible aluminum venting tube.
that initial 90 degree turn it makes will need you to clean it out about every 6 months. But hey at least it "looks good" behind a dryer........................
So it was mentioned but not addressed. How far from the wall does the dryer have to sit? This is my issue I need to be able to get the dryer and close to the wall as possible and afraid I lose quite a bit inches. I have option to go out the side and even down. I may have to consider those options
You mentioned in the video that this product was only good for electric dryers, is it due to the higher heat caused by gas drier, if you know? Do they make one for gas dryers and if so, what model is it? Thanks for the video.
Question. Do all types/brand of dryers's exhaust located in the same spot? Reason for the question is what if I need to buy a different brand dryer which means the vent tube will need to be relocated.
I do think it’s a nice concept, and for most of the video I thought it would be all around better… but that turn is really tight. That’s a very short 90 to have, but it is also much easier maintaining later on so there’s pros and cons. Overall that’s much better than the flimsy trash.
Would there be more back pressure due to more 90 degrees bend? It would be better if the adapter has a more gradual bend, but then it sit farther out from the wall.
Hi! When I tested the airflow from outside the outside air increased! Resulting in better venting and airflow 👍🏽😊, you have to try it to believe it 🙏🏽😊
Installed one of these vents about a month ago. It was relatively simple. I did have to make a box to space it from the wall to give me a straight shot to the exit. After running the first load, the first thing I noticed was that I no longer need to run the dryer two cycles to get blue jeans dry. I am sure that this will have a possitive impact on my electric bill. I was also able to use rigid vent pipe rather than a tangle of flex duct. The smooth interior surface doesn't collect lint nearly as fast as the flex due to the reduction of turbulencent within the duct. The magnet that connects the dryer to the vent makes pullin out and putting back the dryer so easy. Ingegenious idea that relly works. While I had the dryer pulled out I decided to take the back off and clean out the lint trap. It wasn't bad but I found the seal between the lint trap and the blower fan had deteriorated so I ordered a new one and installed it. Other than that, I found nothing else that needed attention. This is a high quality product. The metal isn't flimsy and the design is well engineered. The $68.00 price will pay for itself in a month from the reduced electric bill. Thanks for the heads up on this product.

I"ve been using magvent for a few years. I have it on two dryers. It works GREAT!!!
XD so does my old metal hose.

$68 for a vent and another $15 for ducting? Nah.. the old stuff works just fine.
we just bought a ventless heat pump dryer. dry time is a little longer but really not that noticeable
Magnetic strength degrades with heat, have you tested it when the dryer has heated the duct to see if the magnet falls off?
This is true. And also I don’t like the right angle flow restriction compared to the gradual bend of the flex tubing.
@@MAX99999
Actually the original was worse since it was greater than 90 degrees regardless of being “gradual”.
Are these also available for Gas dryers?
Yes you can use these on gas dryers. The "Fix this House" guy corrected himself and said you can use on both. Read further down.
Never used anything like this before. But then I never loved anywhere long enough with in unit laundry that it would have made a difference. (I have just set a new record for the longest I have kept one address - 4 years - and the laundry is right next to my apartment - a 20 foot walk.)

Wish I had watched this (and ordred the Magvent) before I struggled to connect my dryer vent last night
Since the bend is 90 degree, is there any issue with the flow? Transitional pipe designs calls for bend of 2 times the diameter of the pipe being bent.
Great video! I'm definitely upgrading my inside and external vents!
Why?
This is not a upgrade actually, the initial 90 degree turn this thing makes is horrible and restricts air flow.
More clean up for you and you buying a new dryer more frequently.
Just because something "looks good" doesn't make it good.
Our dryer vent goes through the floor to the solid aluminum vent pipe in the basement, out the back of the house to the outdoors. Can this MV90 be turned so it goes straight down into the pipe under the floor?

I'm about to do something similar. To minimize the gap between dryer and the wall, can I cut in to the drywall?
I love it. I installed MV-180. Looks great and easy to clean.
that initial 90 degree turn it makes will need you to clean it out about every 6 months.
But hey at least it "looks good" behind a dryer........................
Can you use this product when the dryer outlet is above the dryer. Or is there a product for a different set up? Thank you 🙏🏾
I would think the 90* angle would be restrictive to flow and a lint catcher?
This was another good video. I’m not sure if this is the solution to my problem, but am definitely going to do some measuring. Thanks again!

Hi! My mistake, it’s good for both 👍🏽😊
Great videos can you use this to go straight down through the floor?
What do you recommend for a stack-able washer / dryer combo with the dryer on top?
That's a sharp angle. Dust will accumulate there easily. More easily than the old style
Question. Do all types/brand of dryers's exhaust located in the same spot? Reason for the question is what if I need to buy a different brand dryer which means the vent tube will need to be relocated.
The quick answer is no, it can vary from brand to brand.

Looks nice and neat, but it also looks like it may use more space between the dryer and the wall. In a small area, inches matter.
Would there be more back pressure due to more 90 degrees bend? It would be better if the adapter has a more gradual bend, but then it sit farther out from the wall.
Hi! When I tested the airflow from outside the outside air increased! Resulting in better venting and airflow 👍🏽😊, you have to try it to believe it 🙏🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse I think it might be better because the original tube has at least two bends before exiting. I suppose one bend is better than 2+ bends.
My only suggestion would be to use a long sweep street 90 along with fixing that elec. connection.
That looks great but my outlet comes out of the floor halfway where the pipe is any thoughts
Amazing! I'm going to do that to my dryer!
With this install kit, how far is the stand off distance from the back of the dryer to the wall?
That is a real cool drier duct system. Easier to pull the drier in and out.
