Description

This thimble fits into the wall or outlet box to create a secure, finished opening for the dryer's exhaust. It helps align and protect the vent connection for safer, more efficient dryer ventilation. What it does

• Provides a finished, stable opening for the dryer's exhaust duct to pass through the wall.
• Keeps the vent connection aligned to reduce air leaks and rubbing that can damage ducting.
• Protects surrounding wall material from heat and wear caused by the vent.
• Helps maintain proper airflow routing to support dryer performance and reduce lint buildup risks.

What's included

• One thimble.

Install notes

• Disconnect power and move the dryer away from the wall before accessing the vent area.
• Typically press-fits or fastens into the wall opening; use appropriate fasteners and sealant per local codes.
• Ensure ducting is properly connected to the thimble and that the vent path is unobstructed.
• Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp duct edges and handle lint carefully to avoid dispersal.
