Description

This dryer vent thimble provides a secure, finished opening for the dryer exhaust where the duct passes through a wall. It helps direct airflow and protects the wall opening for safer, more efficient venting. What it does:

• Creates a smooth, supported path for the dryer exhaust duct through a wall or chase
• Helps reduce air leaks and lint buildup at the wall penetration
• Restores proper vent alignment so the dryer can expel air efficiently
• Can reduce unusual airflow noise caused by a loose or damaged wall opening

What's included:

• One dryer vent thimble

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the dryer and move the appliance away from the wall before installation
• Measure the wall opening and duct size before securing the thimble
• Fasten the thimble to the wall framing or surrounding material per local codes; use appropriate screws or fasteners
• After installation, reconnect the duct and check for a secure, airtight fit; clean any lint from the area
