Dryer vent routing across basement ceiling
Hello all,
I pulled my dryer vent duct in the basement away from the wall, only to find that since the deck was built outside (previous owner), the vent exist was blanked off with a galvanize sheet of waterproofing! (damned f*%$wits) So I want to redirect the vent outside now, so it stops blowing into my basment! (LOL I was wondering what all thet fluff was on my basement walls!) I want it to go perpendicular to the floor joists, hanging down just below them. Is this an OK scenario? It will exit through a 4" hole in the wall. Do I need to protect the vent from anything? I'm just not sure what the code requirements are. Thanks for any tips, Dean ps its a gas fired dryer. |
