Transcript:
Welcome to the installation video for MagVent’s MV-90. Before proceeding, verify that your current duct path turns 90 degrees behind your dryer. If your current duct path is straight, and aligned with your dryer exhaust port, see the installation video for MagVent’s MV-180.
1-To begin, simply unplug your dryer, and remove any existing transition duct if necessary.
2-Measure the dryer port center from the flush side of the dryer, and up from the floor. Then transfer these measurements onto the wall.
3-Hold the mounting bracket to the wall on the center mark with the open part of the bracket running in the direction of the intended vent path. Then mark the screw hole locations on the wall.
4-Holding the bracket in position, drive the included mounting screws through the bracket hole, and into the wall anchors. If on a wooden surface, simply drive the screws directly into the wood.
5-Squeeze the bracket slightly, and fit the MV-90 onto the bracket until retaining tabs are engaged in the anchor slots located on the sides of the unit.
6-With the MV-90 in place, you can measure for the remainder of your duct system. Remove the MV-90 by squeezing the bracket to disengage the retaining tabs, and reattach if it eases your installation. Note the clean look, and low profile of the MV-90 wall-side installation.
7-Securely attach the Dryer-Side Union to the dryer exhaust port using the supplied hose clamp, and extend hose with a slight tug.
8-Plug the dryer in, and push into position, allowing MagVent’s powerful magnets to self-align and complete the duct connection.
9-A quick visual inspection to verify proper seal, and you’re done!
Congratulations! You've just installed a minimum path vent, and your dryer is safer, and more efficient.

Vous êtes en train de regarder le tutoriel d’installation du dispositif MagVent’s MV-90. Nous vous souhaitons la bienvenue ! Avant de continuer, vérifiez que le tuyau d’évacuation actuellement branché présente un angle à 90 degrés derrière votre sèche-linge. Si votre tuyau d’évacuation actuellement branché est en position horizontale dans l’alignement de votre bouche d’évacuation, veuillez visionner le tutoriel d’installation destiné au dispositif MagVent’s MV-180.
1-Pour commencer, débranchez simplement votre sèche-linge et retirez toute conduite d’évacuation d’air déjà existante, le cas échéant.
2- Prenez la mesure de la distance depuis le centre de la bouche d’évacuation du sèche-linge jusqu’au mur du côté, puis depuis le sol en remontant. Reportez ensuite ces mesures sur le mur.
3-Maintenez le support de fixation au mur, sur la marque centrale, avec la partie ouverte du support orientée dans le sens du passage prévu pour le dispositif d’évacuation. Puis marquez les emplacements des trous de vis sur le mur.
4-En maintenant le support en place, passez les vis de montage fournies dans le trou du support, ainsi que dans les chevilles murales. Si vous avez affaire à une surface en bois, enfoncez simplement les vis directement dans le bois.
5-Appuyez légèrement sur le support et fixez le dispositif MV-90 sur le support jusqu'à ce que les languettes de retenue soient engagées dans les fentes d'ancrage situées sur les côtés du dispositif.
6-Une fois le dispositif MV-90 fixé, vous pourrez mesurer le reste de votre système d’évacuation. Retirez le dispositif MV-90 en appuyant sur le support pour dégager les languettes de retenue, et refixez-le si cela facilite votre installation. Remarquez l'aspect épuré et la position basse de l'adaptation murale du dispositif MV-90.
7-Fixez solidement le raccord côté sèche-linge à la prise d'évacuation de celui-ci, à l'aide du collier de serrage fourni, puis allongez le tuyau en tirant légèrement dessus.
8-Branchez le sèche-linge et poussez-le pour le remettre en place et permettre aux puissants aimants du dispositif MagVent de s’aligner et de terminer le branchement de la conduite d’évacuation.
9-Une petite inspection visuelle rapide pour vérifier que le branchement tient bien, et le tour sera joué !
Toutes nos félicitations ! Vous venez d'installer votre système d’évacuation court, et votre sèche-linge y aura gagné en sécurité, et son efficacité en sera optimisée au mieux.
I ordered one of these via Amazon as I live in U.K. There is nothing like this here. I put my tumble dryer inside a built in cupboard unit, next to my front loading washing machine, so my laundry area looks really good but the vent for my tumble dryer is on an external wall to the left side. There was no easy way to connect the vent at the rear of the tumble dryer (apart from using the awful plastic hose that came with the machine) because it’s unreachable due to the built in cupboard having a Silestone counter top so this magnetic vent is a genius way to connect the rear vent to the wall vent handsfree. I can check it’s aligned correctly using a selfie stick and my smartphone to reach to the back of the tumble dryer and record a video to check all’s good👍🏼
This is the best dryer vent design ever! You should sell them in U.K.
WOW! A must in our coming renovation!!
Nice if you are fortunate to have that amount of space behind the dryer and washer, or it's in a basement. Nice setup.
Is there any building code issue that would prohibit the use of this product on Gas dryers? This is a genius product which I wish I knew about years ago.
Exactly what I needed! Awesome!
Me also
Please do a video showing installation with a dryer on a pedestal.
Good afternoon! Thank you for this feedback. We are currently working on several videos to add to our UA-cam channel. That is a great idea for content. Please like and subscribe to stay current on all of our new material!
Best idea since sliced bread!
Can the flex material on the dryer side be replaced? With, say, semi-rigid duct material?
Do you have a mount setup that goes through the floor
Hi, I haven't installed mine yet, but I do have a question about the dryer side magnet with the flexible tubing. Is this the style of tubing that looks like metallic foil but is actually plastic that they show can catch fire with gas dryers? I'm liking this kit a lot so far and can't wait to install it. I have an electric dryer however that would probably shut off it got too hot, and do plan to keep the lint cleaned out once a year, but was just wondering.
MagVent couplings are made with DryerFlex from In-O-Vate products, www.dryerflex.com. It is sturdy, non-flammable, UL 2158A approved aluminum hose that is lined with steel wire and resists crushing. When combined with the MagVent coupling, it compresses down in an accordion-like fashion and, with proper installation, is never crushed when the dryer is pushed into place. MagVent couplings increase your home's fire safety and energy efficiency. They also make disconnecting and reconnecting your dryer for regular cleaning simple and easy!
It is made of a durable material that resists catching fire, unlike some of the older metallic foil-like tubing. However, it's always crucial to ensure that your dryer vent is properly installed and maintained.
My dryer likes to shake. The installer recommended I don’t go with a mag vent cause he said when the dryer shakes while running the connection will slide. Is he full of it?
The connection will not slide due to the dryer shaking. The magnets are very strong and their is a lip on the dryer side union that engages the body of the unit.
Shouldn't that adjustable elbow be taped with aluminum tape?
Yes it absolutely should be once the final position is figured out. That is mentioned in the instructions included with the product. Thank you for your comment.
is it harmfull for the washing machine circuits and metalic parts ??
My husband said the circuits are too far away to cause any issues mechanically. The use of a magnetic fitting increases dryer efficiency and thus lowers electrical usage and cost. The other fittings leak heat out and increase cost by slowing drying time.
Tracy McPherson thanks a lot!
Only one problem is That , the connection off the wall like 7 feet .
.
If you duct exiting your room is that far away, you can use rigid pipe to complete the connection between the MV-90 and the duct running into the room.
Does the wall mount bracket that secures the Magvent come with the MV-90? If not, what would you recommend?
Yes! It does come with the MV-90 :)
Apologies, I'm an idiot. What is that transition/offset piece in the video called so I can search for it properly and purchase?
Also, how much hose, in length, comes with the mv-90 kit?
Thank you
Good morning! Thank you so much for reaching out.
The MV-90 can be used with a standard 4'' diameter elbow or standard 4'' diameter rigid metal piping.
The MV-90 comes with 12'' of the flexible transition hose.
I hope this helps!
If you have any other questions or if I may be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us!
Magtag dryer with low back vent but the other vent is not in the wall but floor. Will the 90 degree kit work and avoid the "loop" ?
The MagVent MV-90 is designed for when the vent path takes a 90 degree turn, such as through the floor, off to the side, or up through the ceiling. The tail end can be installed in whatever direction or angle necessary to make the shortest and most direct vent path.
That gaping hole in the drywall though.
Don't forget that flexible duct coming out of the dryer which is a heating appliance is flammable, are you trying to burn the house down?
The flexible hose on MagVent couplings is non-flammable. MagVents use DryerFlex from In-O-Vate, www.dryerflex.com. It is UL 2158A approved specifically for dryer venting and is zero flame spread. MagVent couplings actually increase your home's efficiency and fire safety.
why not just use any other type of connection ? how is this magnetic one useful ?
Zombie Bites thanks a lot
Well OMAR if you ever put one in....... You would know that its a pain in the ass and with this device you can literally attach it to the dryer then just push it back in place SHAZAMM your hooked up
Try venting a dryer that backs up against a wall into the floor using standard flexible duct. Your question will be answered.
Couple of problems, soft foil is not to be used on any dryer, voids warranty. Second does the coupling, magnet , dead centre with wall part? If not it will shorten life of dryer, does manufacturer of venting system take over warranty if dryer fails? I wish builders would not throw laundry products where they fit and actually plan
MagVent couplings will not void the dryer's warranty. MagVents are not made of soft foil duct. They are made of UL 2158A approved DryerFlex from In-O-Vate products, www.dryerflex.com. It is sturdy, aluminum hose that is lined with steel wire and resists crushing.
Clothes dryer manufacturers allow 4 inch flexible metal hose as long as it is UL listed and accessible for cleaning. MagVents are made of sturdy, steel lined, aluminum ribbon hose that is UL approved and resists crushing. And since MagVent couplings make it simple and easy to disconnect and reconnect your dryer for regular cleaning, they will not void the dryer's warranty.
MagVent couplings will not shorten the life of your dryer. They actually increase your dryer's energy efficiency. The strong 4 inch ring magnets connect properly and fully maintain the recommended 4 inch vent path.
Now that you are making things up your credibility is gone. Having just reviewed 8 installation instructions from several manufacturers not one mentioned foil venting of any type is to be used or approved for use. All clearly stated rigid or semi rigid venting and not to use foil. Having repaired hundreds of dryers and reviewing installation instructions with customers I know what is allowed and not allowed. If flex rigid is substituted for foil then it is acceptable. Please review installation instructions
Mr. Denhollander, you don't seem to understand that MagVent couplings are not made of soft foil hose. They are made of Dryer Flex which is flexible metal hose composed of aluminum ribbon and steel wire.
I do appreciate all the opportunities you have given me to explain to my potential customers about the advantages of MagVent dryer vent couplings. MagVent couplings are a new and revolutionary venting system, unlike and superior to traditional venting systems. MagVent couplings help eliminate the typical and dangerous soft foil hose, while facilitating the use of more rigid metal pipe throughout the entirety of the vent path.
I do fully understand, the part that attached to the dryer and coupling is the issue. Again, please supply documents from manufacturer saying the soft flexible foil part is allowed. Only two types of venting is approved, rigid metal, as you show from connector to wall and a flex rigid. Nothing else is approved by any manufacturer. Change to flex rigid then it is permitted. Maybe if you have seen as many failed products due to improper installation (from those who dont follow manufacturer instructions). We are going in circles and until the soft foil at dryer is eliminated I stand by what manufacturers dictate.
Christ All Mighty Ronny boy, you don't have a clue what DryerFLEX is. Just because a manual doesn't mention DryerFLEX doesn't mean it can't be used or will void a warranty if used. New stuff comes along all the time and manufacturers aren't chomping at the bit to update manuals to include every viable part. They print once and forget. Jeez Ronny, join the 21st century and get yourself up to date.
I woud have bough this but I hate background music. If you upload a video with out background music I will buy one. TY.
Complicate and unnecessary
