I wasn't at all clear how this vent was to be connected to my rather long run of aluminum piping under our house from the gas dryer. And frankly I was rather amazed by the size of the vent when it arrived.  However, pursuaded by the other reviews, I started out by priming and painting the vent.  I needed to cut away a bit more of the vinyl siding and think a bit about how to best connect the vent to my aluminum tubing.  But with a bit of crimping, the vent accepted the extension I had created out of more aluminum vent pipe.  Then with some caulk sealing the connections, I was ready to mount the vent to the wall.  I used a level to ensure it was correctly horizontal.  To my pleasure the bottom part accepted the mounting screws easily and permitted the top to also be mounted and attached with the two screws it needed. I turned on our dryer and my wife and I were delighted with the way the cup in the vent opened inside allowing the dryer to expel the hot air.  I am quite convinced that those cold blasts during winter when the old vent never quite closed are in the past.  It also appears that no mouse can enter our house through the vent nor pesky insects.
