@W Service if my three prong outlet is far away from my dryer what can I use to make it reach since you sa8d don't use a extension cord? The cord from the dryer doesn't reach the outlet.
excellent , i couldn't think what to do because the bottom connection clearly need some type of adapter, i just assumed it be like a 3/8 to 3/8 coupling . But the use of the extension and the 90 pipe piece makes a lot sense. it all galvy pipe right ?
Dryerflex makes a great flexible dryer venting hose that is much more fire resistant and has better air flow than the cheap slinky foil vents. They partnered with GE ( part number PM08X10085DS ) and are now available at Home Depot for 24.99. Those cheap foil vents have paper and will catch fire. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lV2Gx8-ryoE.html
I presume that stuff is safe for electric dryers but not gas? That said, I'm trying to work out how on earth you hook up a vent on the side or back of a dryer to a solid metal exhaust tube...?
It's required for all non-flared threaded fittings. This seals the joint and prevents gas leaks. Flared fittings don't require pipe joint compound because the seal is made at the flare, not the threads.
At 3:56, the blue gas pipe compound application did not even BEGIN to cover the threads adequately. This would be a terrible gas connection. Sloppy work.
Did anyone notice the fact he said clockwise, and it shows the dude rotating counter clockwise. Then vise versa? Because some people don't know the difference. Haha!
You're correct as far as the top down view in this video. But clockwise & counterclockwise in mechanics are not affected by perspective. A right-handed thread, as these legs are, is always turned clockwise when it recedes into its hole, clockwise from the perspective of one standing behind (or in this case below) the screwdriver or wrench. As if the narrator you are laying on your back looking upwards towards the dryer. Works just like facing the front or back of a boat doesn't switch the sides of the boat referred to by "port" and "starboard".
Wow people in this comment section have issues. Imagine being so stressed inside yourself, that you have to overly criticize a "how to " video just because a couple minor visual scenes are wrong, yet the narrator's instructions are spot on. I mean seriously, griping because the narrator said clockwise but OH NO DEAR GOD THE ACTOR TURNED IT, GASP, COUNTER CLOCKWISE...lol no wonder there's so many Karen's and Ken's out there. People must be really sad and or insecure inside themselves for whatever reasons...
And then at 5:28, the washing machine hoses are NOT steel braid-encased. This is inexcuseably STUPID. To top it all off, the smarmy narrator is irritatingly pedantic-- like WE'RE the idiots!
