New construction.
I want to install a dryer vent to a centrally located laundry in a standard 1 story ranch. I have a choice of going straight vertical (8ft room rise plus approx. 8-10 ft in attic. It's an 8/12 pitch roof so there is alot of vertical distance in the attic. The vent would terminate on the back side of the roof.
The other option is approx. 8 ft vertical rise and then 90 to an approx 10 ft horizontal run to exit into an exterior gable end wall above the driveway.
What is the best option here? Depending on the answers, I may have a lot more questions. Thanks in advance for any help.
