Why the Vent Matters
Never run a dryer without its lint filter, and clean the filter before or after every load; also clear lint that collects behind the dryer. Source: U.S. Fire Administration (FEMA) - Clothes Dryer Fire Safety
The outside termination should have a backdraft damper and no screen (screens trap lint), and the flap must open when the dryer runs and be kept clear of snow. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting
Dryer exhaust must go outdoors, never into an attic, crawlspace or other building cavity; ventless dryers with a condensate drain are the exception. Source: U.S. DOE Building America Solution Center (PNNL) - Proper Clothes Dryer Venting
