I'm looking for comments and suggestions on whether it's safe and
practical to run 20 feet of 4" metal exhaust duct horizontally from my

runs about 20 feet vertically. The existing vertical duct is
uninsulated and is inside an always-warm house without air
conditioning.


Thanks in advance for your replies.
DarroIt is against most codes to "tie into" an existing dryer vent duct.

Why can't you run this independently?

Who exactly does the certifiying of technicians for dryer exhausts and
how long is the training period?
