Can I Extend My Dryer Vent

A dryer duct vent extension can be put in place where the ductwork on the dryer begins or at the point where the ductwork meets the actual dryer vent at the wall. They are useful in a situation when a hard shell extension goes through a wall so that a flexible metal duct will attach easily.

How far can you extend a dryer vent?

The maximum developed length of a clothes dryer exhaust duct shall not exceed 35 feet from the dryer location to the wall or roof termination. The maximum length of the duct shall be reduced 2.5 feet for each 45-degree (0.8 rad) bend, and 5 feet for each 90-degree (1.6 rad) bend.

Can you connect two dryer vents together?

The ductwork for both dryers should be kept completely separate. The 4-inch diameter of standard clothes dryers is designed to handle the flow of air for one appliance only. It’s fine to run the ducts parallel.
