You can also drill a couple small holes through the vent pipe and the collar
on the back of the dryer and run some sheet metal screws into the holes.
Disadvantages: It limits the ability to quickly move the dryer, and also can
act as a lint "trap" if the screws protrude into the pipe, but it will
prevent the connection from vibrating apart.

Mine goes OVER the vent pipe, and is held there with a hose clamp, the
type you screw tight.

I have never been able to make a good connection
from my dryer to the 4" metal vent. I am using
a flexible aluminum tube right now, but every time
I move the dryer it comes loose. I even have the
one with one end crimped down so it will fit into
the vent pipe.

Can anyone suggest a method to make the connection
at least semipermanent?

Thanks a lot.
