Product review (5 stars): It connects !
What can I say about a connector kit? It connects. Actually, I found this connector much easier to use than the usual band connectors. Slides on easily -- but not too easily since you want this to be a firm connection without leaks. Found it to be a good solution. I had to cut the duct as 8 feet was too long to compress into the small space I had. But, that was not a major problem. Dryer now functioning / venting as expected.
