...
I too believed the white plastic vent line was a fire hazard so I
replaced it.
Curious as to how well it would burn I got my garden hose out and ran
a experiment.
tried lighting a small piece of the plastic with my grill lighter,
white plastic turned brown.
got out the big guns expecting a blaze tried lighting the 10 foot long
piece with my mapp gas torch. all it did was smoulder and turn brown.
saw some plastic type at a large hardware store, if its fireproof, i
will go back to it.
it no longer appears to be flammable, another urban legend debunked
Try it when it's full of lint with a good draft blowing through it.
