Dryer Vent Through Floor Joist

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Dryer vent through floor joist.

You could run 4 vent pipe parallel to the joists without any problems. The sill plate is atypical too. Extend the pipe through the hole in the wall or floor and route it toward the vent cap. Whether you re installing a new vent or upgrading an existing one the first step in installing dryer vents is to determine where the dryer duct will run.

Clamp the vent pipe to the dryer s vent outlet with a pipe clamp and tighten the clamp with a screwdriver. It may be easier to take another route even if it s slightly longer. As for the location of the dryer vent that depends upon the dryer. I recommend keeping the duct under 12 long if possible.

What size pipe would be appropriate. Yes cutting anything on the i joist is a no no and wouldn t or shouldn t pass inspection. It s basically a closet that fits the two machines only with very limited space front to ba. The dryer vent will go down into a 4d the turn right for about 4 feet within the flooring then moves into unheated uncooled attic space before the up and over and then down through the soffit with a lambro soffit dryer vent another 11 ft in the attic.

It s right in front of my glass block window. Remember the flex pipe and elbow coming out of the dryer and up down to the vent line count as elbows in the total run of the dryer duct. Is there a way to pass through the double stringer. Then the hole saw with a right angle drill through the doubled up floor joist from the inside of course.

I am trying to figure out what this is poking it with a screwdriver it appears to be hard as stone and would quickly dull my hole saw. Dryer vent installation can be a bit of a challenge. The only way to get up and out in my preferred location is to go through ceiling and make a 90 degree between floor joists and out through header joist. There is room above this beam for the dryer vent but i don t want to open a can of worms.

My washer and dryer are located on the second floor of a two floor townhouse with crawlspace foundation. Most old school dryers have the vent in the middle of the back about an inch off of the finished floor. I have 2x8 floor joists and 16in on center so i m sure there s more than enough room in there to place the vent pipe. A 4 1 8 hole saw through the band joist drilled from the outside of the home.
