- This video covers the installation of a Dryer Jack roof vent for your dryer.
Here is the link to the source I used to buy the vent:

Here is a link to another video that compares the flow restriction aspects of different standard roof vents vs the Dryer Jack DJK466:

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your video and educate me on "dryer ventilation through the roof". Was very helpful!!
Thank you very much! Happy to help!
The reason the DryerJack isn't opening up all the way is you have a bad dryer vent installation with air leaks and too much back pressure. Your vent is flexible material which is against code and creates a bigger back pressure problem. You must use rigid pipe and make sure to seal all connections and elbows. Then you will see a huge increase in airflow out of the DryerJack. Have a great day!
Thanks for your comment, although I disagree with your assessment. Have a nice day.
How does your dryer perform the past 6 months to a year? I have a roof vent in my current house and it seems after about a few weeks of cleaning the vent. It starts to take 2 or 3 cycles for clothes to be dry.
I haven't been up on the roof to check on my Dryer Jack vent for a year, so I can't tell you how it looks at this point. However, our clothes are drying normally after one full cycle and maybe a short cycle after cleaning the lint filter in the dryer. Bottom line is every dryer vent is eventually going to get clogged up to a certain extent. Even a dryer vent tube with no vent cover at all is going to have lint accumulation between the dryer itself and the outside world. If you're in a high-humidity area, it's going to be even worse.
@@gizmoflyslow9854 I live in Florida, no shortage of humidity. I'm looking into getting the dryerjack. I definitely prefer venting out the wall over the roof.
Great video. I hope it’s still working out for you.
Hey Chris, Thanks for your compliment and subscription. So far, so good and I hope to update the video in the near future to show how it's working out for me. Take care!
I have to say we were going to buy one of these for our new roof install, but after seeing that it doesn't open fully as their demonstration video shows, I'll pass. Thank you so much for posting this. Very helpful.
@@alidag5607 This just mean the CFM of their dryer isn't high enough top open it fully. Its not that its restrictive, but that their dryer simply doesn't emit enough air pressure to open it fully. You could fully remove the flap, and the back pressure would be marginally different if not the exact same. I wouldn't let this reason deter your from buying one. I just bought one and am awaiting its arrival.
It depends on the length of pipe going to the vent for being able to push that vent door up. The longer the pipe the lower the air flow.
I'm fully aware that the longer the vent tube, the less exhaust pressure reaches the vent. However, I cannot run my dryer vent in any other direction except straight up through my roof. Going straight up is the shortest distance to reach a vent location. I guess I need to add a more complete description of my situation so people will understand.
@@gizmoflyslow9854 you can add a dryer vent boost to it to take care of the problem of running a long line.
How is it venting? Have you have to clean it out? Have you even checked it since the install? Just asking since I might change mine out for this! Shit my vent currently isn't even as good as your stock one that you replaced. Its literally caged in so all of the lent is getting trapped.
Hello NJ. First, the vent continues to work just fine. I checked it over six months ago and again a couple of weeks ago, and it's still opening without getting clogged. Some lint collected along the inside, but it doesn't prevent the vent flap from opening freely. We just had another hurricane pass by a few days ago, and there are no leaks. I am very pleased and would recommend it. Good luck!
I have exactly the some problem with same kind old vent replace with same Dryer Jack with solar panel on the roof. Now they solar panel is on top of is and cause problem. So I am going to relocated away from the solar panels.
So they installed your solar panels OVER your dryer vent? That's kinda strange 🤔. I hope it isn't too much trouble relocating your vent, and this solves your vent problem. Good luck!
But you probably need to clean your duct work between the new roof vent hood and the dryer which is causing low air flow.
Did you watch the entire video? I cleaned the duct work at the end of the video.
That is absolutely NOT how you install a vent on a roof. Do not go over the old vent. When done correctly you don’t need roof cement (black jack).
Yeah, ok. Your opinion is noted. Been up there for 18 months and went through a hurricane. Works just fine every day and doesn't leak.
@@gizmoflyslow9854 well there is a right and a wrong way of doing things. I have built homes for twenty years. That install is a hot mess.
Anyone thinking of installing one of these, watch this video instead. ua-cam.com/video/ZbxopQkzEXc/v-deo.html
