Supplying Demand 60631 4396006 Clothes Dryer 4 Inch Aluminum 90 Degree Close Elbow Vent Connector

Bought 2 or these item to allow use of a hard duct connection instead of a flexible dryer duct that was always collapsing. Works great! No more fighting junk flex ducts lack of airflow to outside vent.

I had a blown fuse in my dryer and I decided to replace it. I also decided to do a thorough cleaning of the lint that was stuffed in the dryer. Everytime I pushed the dryer back to the wall, I noticed that the vent duct would be squeezed a lot because it was directly attached to the dryer. Once I disconnected the vent duct to remove the lint, I noticed how worn out and damaged the duct was since it had been this way for years. It had multiple leaks and a lot of dings around it. I also noticed how difficult it was to put the vent duct back into the dryer. I decided to do some research and I ended up getting this product. I also got the HVAC tape foil to wrap it around the ends of the connections to stop any leaks. The size of the product seems to be standard about 6 inches so it fit tight like a glove without a problem. The elbow duct seemed to be a bit expensive when compared to other similar products. However, when you have it in your hands, you can feel how the aluminum material in itself is very sturdy, thick and of good quality. The end result was more than what I expected. Everything came out great. Now connecting and disconnecting the vent duct off the dryer is a snap and everytime the dryer gets pulled out and pushed back into the wall, there's no more dings, warpings or opened leaks in it. If you happen to find yourself in a similar situation, I think you should definitely go for this upgrade.

For $20, it's a bit over-priced for what you get. It's a bit flimsy and thin metal wise. The band that was included was super cheap and I had to replace it. I would have just purchased one for the big box stores, but couldn't find one. It does work though.

Perfect for my application to get my dryer as close to the back wall as possible. Good quality and cheaper than others identical from other stores.

This connector solved the restricted air flow issue that prevented our dryer from working properly.

90 degree elbow is great for close quarters attachment.

This product is a bit flimsy but works

crimped end wasn't exactly sized but works great with a personal adjustment
