In this video, home renovation brothers Dave and Rich show you how to install a dryer vent through a brick wall. Installing a dryer vent through a brick wall can seem to be a difficult challenge, but in this video we'll show how we installed a dryer vent from a basement laundry room through a crawl space and out an exterior brick wall.
Proper dryer venting using semi-rigid ducting provides an optimum smooth walled exit for dryer venting. In many areas of the U.S., the corrugated flexible ducting is no longer allowed. Thousands of fires are caused by lint every year. So the material for the ducting matters.
Assembling the dryer vent ducting is done in a way to minimize the number and degree of turns so that the exhaust has the most direct path out of the house. There is a dryer vent installation code which addresses long runs and how many turns are allowable. A DIY'er should make themselves familiar with the dryer venting codes.
The tools needed for this job include metal shears, foil tape, and a saw and drill.
Hope this helps!
