My vent goes up 8 feet and then horizontal for 15 ft... How will this help locating this at the dryer over what the dryer is already doing?

Hi Cory, This device ADDS to the dryer own venting system and adds more air pressure to blow ow the moist air and lint. The device has a built in sensor that turns the devise's own motor on when ever the dryer is operating--I'm *Blowing to over 25 feet to my dryers outlet. the device makes the Dryers run-time shorter and saves electric and natural gas

Dryer vent hose/duct hose and a hose clamp similar to a radiator hose clamp. Best of luck!

I assume you mean the termination cap. I believe there is a min. and maximum distance from the exterior wall you must stay within, I assume you're horizontally venting. your equipment installation guide should give you placement rules, height, distance from windows, inside corners etc.

Nope unfortunately it is specific to the dryer. Check the info to make sure they match up. :0)

What you are describing does not happen with my blow dryer.I suggest you get a hold of where you purchased the dryer from and discuss with them.

Yes, I did the same thing. The vent was movable to blow from back or the top of the unit.

I have 2 dryers adjacent to one another and I had these installed inches behind each dryer. The instructions claim best performance is provided by installing further down the exhaust line, but my lines run under ground. So far, these seem to help and the volume is acceptable.

I am personally using it with an electric dryer but I see no reason why it wouldn't work for a gas model. It is operated by pressure differential rather than current sensing, it is all metal construction so even if the gas exhaust is hotter it should be OK. The directions say it should be a least 15 feet of duct length away from the dryer anyway. I guess it might draw hotter air into the duct but you should make sure the ducts are well cleaned out when you install it. I'm very satisfied the dryer works faster, runs quieter and we do not get lint accumulating around the duct connection at the back of the machine. You might also check with your dryer manufacturer in case they have any concerns. I am personally using it with an electric dryer but I see no reason why it wouldn't work for a gas model.

Anywhere convenient to the length of vent hose coming off the back of the dryer. The hose will need enough room to come up the top or out the side of the dryer and then loop/arc over to go fasten to the top of this filter. The filter can only be mounted upright because it has that water bath that catches what the screen catches. Clear as mud?!

The vent that comes with it is a metal foil vent. But you can attach it to a metal vent and attach the metal vent to your dryer. That's what we've done.

I used a flexible vent typically used for dryers. Not sure what size that it but pretty inexpensive.

That is a vent. And mine came with two different options, mine is lower.. I will see if I can get a picture to attach.

Can't say yes with complete certainty. My dryer vent goes up through the roof and has 2 fairly sharp turns and the rods on this device were able to get through the turns with only a little effort and did a very good job cleaning.

Only if your dryer is not blowing air. If your dryer is blowing air, this booster will not increase the air flow. It should be placed where the air is slowing down (20' or so from the dryer.) I'm not a technician, but I did have good luck with this booster, and Fantech does have good phone support.

The shields attached to the dryer are moveable and can be angled to hit that longer hair. The dryer blower is powerful enough that the air blows down well.

I'm not an expert on this subject but I'll respond the best I can. I think it may work but for the fact the lint may get caught up in the fan. It's desgned to help move air through vents but when you add in a bunch of lint, I think it would build up over time and create a fire hazard. Just my thoughts. I have probably the same problem with my dryer venting outside my house. The venting goes up a wall and then another 10 feet to the exterior so we get lint building up in the vent. I use a leaf blower to blow out the accumulated lint about once a year.

Do you have access to the attic where you can remove a piece of the vent duct so you could work down to your dryer with the LintEater. If not, I would try to work from the dryer inlet to the vent duct and go up maybe 5' to 8' at a time then use an shop vacuum to suck the loose lint.
