Default Oval vent hose

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 ?

Never heard of oval - any reason why you can't use rectangular section
stuff, which is widely available?

Well it was late last night when swmbo confronted me with this problem.
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.

'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?
