I just moved into a house and had to buy a new washer/dryer. We have a
main
floor laundry. The electric dryer (Neptune) has the dryer exhaust
connection coming straight out of the back in the middle of the dryer.
The
connection in my house happens to go down into the floor. That floor
connection is right up tight to the wall. So the connection to the dryer
is
a 90 deg elbow, right from the dryer to the floor outlet. The problem is
that because of the necessary radius of the elbow, the dryer has to sit
9-10
inches out from the wall. Wife is not happy. I went into the basement to
see about possibly relocating the exhaust tinwork, but of course the spot
where it goes up into the floor is above some unmovable return or supply
ductwork for the hvac. The only thing I can come up with is something
I've
always tried to stay away from - flex hose. I did see some metal flex
stuff
at menards, and you can make a very tight 90 with it, but I wonder how bad
that is for dryer performance. It would have this tight 90 out of the
dryer, then go through the floor and 90 again, then go straight about 20
feet to the outside wall and the outlet vent. Any other helpful
suggestions?


Instead of monkeying with a new dryer exhaust hookup, why don't you
just get a new wife.

It worked for me.



I got a new wife, but the old one left me the dryer, so I was no better
off...
