Swap plastic or foil accordion-style dryer ducts for rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, since flexible plastic and foil trap lint and crush or kink more easily. Source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission - Overheated Clothes Dryers Can Cause Fires
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
