Can anyone tell me the max length of a dryer vent hose?
Also would it be better to run a steel 4" hose/pipe in place of those
expandable plastic or metal dryer vent hoses.

Thanks

The allowable length depends on the dryer as they don't all have the
same needs. It should be indicated in the paperwork that came with the
dryer. Average is about 50 feet with reductions for elbows.

Anything is better than that expandable plastic hose. Non-corrugated
steel pipe is best. Do not connect sections together with screws as the
screws will catch lint and cause buildup. Use the metal duct tape available
in the heating and air conditioning area not cloth duct tape to hold the
sections together.
