Dryer vent.....

[WoodMann]

Hey Guys- ya'll prolly remember me asking about air quality and proper venting of the furnaces for the GF's house, well that's all good, thank you. Now what we're looking at is a washer and dryer and have extremely limited space to work with. The big question that I can't seem to find a straight answer on is about the exhust vent for a clothes dryer. what's the smalles raduis one that exists. the sharper/ smaller the better.
Thanks............

I would think the stackables they make for apartments might be your best bet. However, I believe the vent size is fairly standard, 6" diameter

Most dryers use 4" vent.

Dryer installation manual has drawings. Go on line for an example.

Most full sized residential dryers use 4" diam vents.

Thank you- I'm aware that the vents are pretty standard at 4"- it's the elbow that I'm at issues with; immediately exiting the dryer. I haven't really googled around because frankly I don't know what to look for. it's the 90* peice right out the dryer that I'm looking for the tightest one available so I thought I'd ask someone in the know about these things...............
