Perfect fit for tight turns and keeping the dryer close to the back wall.

Product has not been installed but it looks like good quality construction and should last a long time..The locker pick-up was QUICK AND EASY, in and out..NO LINES

I used the elbow to attach the dryer hose to the wall vent, and regular elbows made the stick out to far from the wall

Fit perfectly, easy to assemble

This “EL” should be a required standard for all home installations . . . close coupled to the wall & dryer allows one to frequently remove connecting vent duct for internal cleaning, preventing a dryer fire from collected “stuck in the tube” lint. Also a quality “EL” as compared to others.

Did not connect with the specified 5 ft vent. Had to have plumber come and install.

Perhaps I read into the description that this would fit closer to the wall. It does a great job of keeping the vent pipe from getting crushed but it does protrude from the wall more than I expected. The pipe I used to connect to it runs directly along the dryer to a short piece of flexible duct to the exhaust. Fits the whirlpool dryer better than other things I have tried.

Well made and easy to install

It seemed like a good product. However, it didn't fit the space available.

This little gem gets your dryer much closer to the wall but you are going to have to work on it to make it fit. Theoretically it appears that you unhook whatever you have now and put this in place. Not so. Some people should not be handymen. With a little bit of work, itll work well!

easy to install and found elbow to be as advertised

These work great for my situation. My dryer is not in line with the attic vent so two of these worked out great. The regular duct was so long and limber in a short space of about 10 inches it was hard to keep it from sagging or drooping. Also the room I have to make the connection, having to move out the washer to get to the connections is very cramping. This allowed me to make the connections in place without kinks or sharp bends in the duct between the two connections. They solved my problem to make the dryer exit exhaust have less restriction which helps drying and keeps any lint moving and out of the way.

It worked

The piece had great instructions easy to Install would recommend this product .

Easy to use.

Product improves dryer exhaust installation eliminating exhaust hose sag. Increased air flow improves clothes dryer performance.

Order two to make a repeating Starling & Sparrow Trap. Use the Elbow as an exit out of the bird box. Little tight connecting to 4" steel 60 inch L pipe. Worked fine.

Exactly what we needed - works perfect.

I had trouble installing the dryer close to the wall. The vent pipe was right behind the dryer. If I attached the flex pipe, it would get squashed when the dryer was pushed back. I bought 2 of these. I taped one to the wall vent and the other to the dryer vent. This close elbow also has a swivel action. Connecting the flex vent was a snap. With a slight offset of the 2 pipes (the one from the wall and the one from the dryer), I was able to put the flex pipe into a small loop. Then I could push the dryer back almost to the wall.

Assembly pics are not accurate.

This item works very well, it is great for routing a dryer exhaust hose in a tight spot
