Questions & Answers
Can this be installed outside?
Asked by ra January 18, 2018Lint can still attach in the vent pipe prior to the trap, so it is best to mount this trap as close to the dryer as possible.
Will this product fit between the studs in a wall?
Asked by Charliec August 17, 2017yes it can be installed between studs but really the front of it does not come out of wall far enough. As door swings so will need to allow drywall to be cut a little away from box for it to swing, and pipe going down and up will be jammed against inside of wall.
Can this be installed horizontally? Or does it have to be installed vertically as shown?
Asked by Monk November 9, 2015Thinking the same thing as NC, doesn't really make sense to add another restriction point in your system unless you are having a bigger issue. I was thinking to purchase this just as a access to clean out the ducts without taking things apart. Although you could install either horizontal of vertical if needed.
Why can't this item be used with a gas dryer?
Asked by GLC September 19, 2016No, it is not rated to be absolutely leak free which would be necessary for a gas dryer that would have combustion gasses vented with the dryer air and lint.
can this be mounted in ceiling?
Asked by BMC June 15, 2016Would not recommend since you need easy access to clean the lint trap before every dryer use, of course if you have easy access in the ceiling then there should not be a problem.
Our dryer vent opens into the lanai and lint goes everywhere on porch. Could this be attached to...
Asked by coco June 20, 2017Attach it to your hose and it should do the job. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
can this be attached to a metal duct, not the flexible hose kind?
Asked by tla May 22, 2017The attaching connector is a 4" diameter circle. with high of approximately 1.25 ".
does this product have a door?
Asked by momherger July 3, 2017Yes, clear plastic measuring 4.5" x 4 5/8".
How often does this need to be cleaned?
Asked by Korey July 24, 2020We clean ours every second load. It's amazing how much the factory one in the dryer isn't catching.
What is the equivalent duct length reduction for this? If my max duct length is 30 ft what will this device reduce it?
Asked by Ee May 31, 2019Hi EE, thanks for your interest in this product. The lint trap will not reduce your duct length. Once installed, it will become part of the duct. There are a couple YouTube videos on how to install this product. If you need additional information, please call 1-800-387-2578.
