My brother thinks it is the safe kind. *I do not think so. *I have

Do we have the correct type of dryer vent? *Thank you in advance for

What is "safe" is governed by your local code. The flexible white plastic
stuff is illegal/unsafe in many areas if not everywhere.

Also you may note that there are different thicknesses of flex foil
stuff. Just like the difference between many name brands of aluminum foil
vs the cheap **** at the dollar store.

As long as it is metal, and not rusted thru or full of holes, it
should be ok,
