Product review (3 stars): More heavy duty but Cannot connect easily
This product looks more rigid than other aluminum vent tubes. But it is quite hard for me to connect. It is 4 inches wide but it does not fit into the connectors easily or even fit. I had to tape all the connections with metal tape and use an elbow for length as it is not very stretchable so I do not get 8 ft. So I am not too pleased with the way it is connected. I am still looking for better fit connecting vent tubes. Disappointed with the product. I sweated for an hour trying to connect it. As I pull on the edges, tiny holes started to appear in the tube so I had to cover up with metal tape. I had a captured stray cat lived in the garage for two days. Then I noticed holes in the vent pipe already. I think the vent pipes are good until I stretch them and exposed the weakened portion. So I called in the pros and have them installed a rigid pipe but they still used a flexible pipe to connect to the dryer. But the flexible pipe is not stretched out so it should be hard to poke holes.
