so this video is going to show you exactly how to install a magvent

how's my hair it's good yeah it looks nice okay why are we here good question we are
going to show you how to install a magnet vent this has been something that we've posted many
videos on but we've never actually done a sort of tutorial how-to step-by-step
instruction there are multiple magnet vents that you can install the one that we like to install is
the 180 degrees what that means is it comes right out of the wall and then attaches to your dryer
directly straight through the wall not everybody's going to have this opportunity sometimes you're
just going to have to have it coming out of the wall in which case they sell a 90 degree
one but in our case we ran our our rigid ducting through the wall and it's going all the way up
around and outside so this is our dryer vent right here and what we want to do is we want to install
the magnet vent coupling and then we'll be able to show you exactly how it works when the dryer
comes downstairs so first thing you're going to do is take the two apart this is what's going
to eventually fasten onto your dryer but this is the piece we need to worry about right now
a lot of people will have a flexible ducting that's just connected to their
dryer exhaust outside and that'll coil inside the house and we'll wrap around to the floor
that stuff's all going to collect a lot of lint over time so we really do recommend going rigid
ducting and you want to install it with the male end of every connection pointing outside so that
the lid doesn't want to get trapped anywhere and also avoid using screws when attaching
the rigid ducting you want to just use tape so that um we don't collect any lid in the
little nooks and crannies so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to cut this
okay i didn't install an anchor on this side here because i ran into some framing so i'll
be able to put the screw directly into the into the wood of the frame
so we've got that attached to the wall now and you'd be surprised but that's really all there
is to it i've got the wall connector here and all i have to do is clip that it's got four clips on
it along the side those correspond to the clips on here all i have to do now slide it into its home
now this baby is locked in that once we attach this to the end of the dryer
all you have to do is put a little extension on it and as it comes in
it'll get locked in and then you get a straight shot street shooter these things are so foolproof
that you really don't have to be anywhere near it and it's going to connect
magnets
