This exhaust vent extension restores proper exhaust airflow by lengthening or adapting the appliance exhaust outlet to the vent duct. It helps maintain safe ventilation and reduces backpressure that can cause poor performance or odors. What it does:

• Extends or adapts the appliance exhaust outlet to reach the home vent duct
• Directs exhaust airflow to reduce backflow and help prevent overheating
• Helps resolve symptoms like weak venting, lingering odors, or unusual appliance cycling
• Provides a stable connection point for the exhaust duct to improve sealing and airflow

• Turn off and disconnect power (and gas if applicable) to the appliance before installing.
• Use proper fasteners and high-temperature-rated duct tape or clamps as recommended by the appliance manufacturer.

Air duct routes hot air from the dryer drum to the vent outlet. Replace if cracked, melted, damaged, or clogged to restore proper airflow.

Dryer Vent Test Kit ensures your dryer's vent system is operating properly. Kit includes two tests depending on the location of your dryer's lint screen: One for the lint screen in the top of your dryer, and one for the lint screen in the front of your dryer. Instructions included.
