I've tried googling but to no avail.
I need oval tumble dryer vent hose for a Hotpoint tumble dryer. Anyone got an idea where to source this ? -- Paul Mc Cann |

The original vent from the back of the tumble dryer ends in an oval shape. When I first fitted the machine all I could get was 4" flexible hose which was way too big and I could never satisfactorly seal it. Duct tape sort of worked but the big difference in the circumferences and the constant heat lead to evential failure. This time round I determined to get the 'right' stuff, which superficially meant oval hose. With the benefit of a good nights sleep I realise that 3" hose with a good jubillee clip should do the job. -- Paul Mc Cann |

'Spect so. Sounds like the oval fitting might be a special one provided by the tumble dryer manufacturer, ie an adaptor going from oval at the machine outlet to standard round or rectangular duct?
