I am in thr process of correcting some plumbing issues on a remodel that were flagged for final inspection.
One of them is the flex pipe on the gas dryer. It wasn't a failed thing, but strongly suggested that it be changed. Now that the wif e heard that it's a potential fire hazard , she is all over me on this.
My question is: How do you get the dryer back up against the wall if you do not use flex pipe?
I took the rotating hard pipe that came with the dryer off and clamped the flex directly to the dryer and then have a hole in the sheet rock and pushed the dryer and flex back against the wall with the extra flex going into the wall. The wall is in the basement where the opposite of the sheet rock is accessible.
The flex is ultimately clamped to hard duct and then vented outside.
How do I best do a nice finished install of the vent in this situation?
