Our dryer vent hose looks as if it is made out of aluminum foil. It

My brother thinks it is the safe kind. I do not think so. I have
seen a flexible metal vent on TV that looks somewhat like a medieval
suit of armor.

Do we have the correct type of dryer vent? Thank you in advance for
all replies.


The smooth all-metal pipe is better. Use metal foil tape to seal all
connections.

and limit the number of bends and length. Each 90 degree turn is equivelent
to another 6 feet of line.
