Hi Gang
Can schedule 40 pvc pipe be used for a dryer vent? AND does anyone know of
a dryer vent hood that actually CLOSES after the dryer goes off? Previous
owner installed one without any kind of damper. No wonder cold air is
pouring into the basement.
Thanks,
Chas


PVC can be used, although metal piping is recommended. Most dryer
hoods will close properly if cleaned regularly.
