How to install heavy duty dryer vent ........

 

Here we have a self proclaimed (heavy duty) dryer vent purchased from that home improvement store found in the vinyl siding section not with the reg dyer stuff.

First daddy Dave marked from the inside where he wanted the vent to be located and drilled a hole in the center.

On the outside he took the bracket and marked just the area which needed to be cut out and drilled holes in each corner.

Then he took a jig saw and connected the corners....

Then you can pry apart the vinyl siding at the seams just enough to slide in the mounting bracket.

Next the excess was trimmed off with a pair of heavy duty vinyl scissors ......for a better fit.

Next the back bracket was screwed into the supports to hold in place. you'll have to pull the siding away as you mount the bracket and the sideing popped back together.

Then the face plate was just popped/snapped back into place.......

Success

A pic from the inside, this room is still unfinished which makes it a little easier to work

Daddy Dave took a scrap peice of tubing off the old vent, screwed it into place with sheet metal screws and hooked it up for a test dry.
