Review on 🧲 Quick-Release Dryer Dock – The Original, Twist & Lock Tight, Two-Piece Dryer Vent Hose Quick-Connect, Fits 4 Inch Tubes by Justin Gore

A few installation notes

Note that if your old installation has an outside vent pipe that goes straight into the house, you will need to cut it to length. You need to measure fairly accurately as usually the outer vent plate (with fins) rests on some lugs that snap into square holes on the pipe. The inner end is simply pushed onto the dryer flange. A pair of metal shears will do the job just fine. Additionally, if the inner hole is too large, you will need to insert a new piece of drywall or plywood to secure the dock to the wall. I had a huge hole so I just used a piece of plywood and measured it so it would reach the wall studs. Cut a hole in the plywood and attach the dock to it. So depending on your situation, you might have to do a little work. If your drywall is in good condition, you can use Molly. I connected this to the "Snap to Vent 90" on the end of the dryer. Snap to Vent worked well for this application, but I didn't want to use it (the straight end version) for the end of the wall because I felt the Dryer Dock would be a cleaner and more reliable option for the end of things on the wall wall is wall. You also need to push the hose against the docking plastic. I used a regular clip, but I also drilled a hole through the clip into the plastic of the dock collar and put in a zip screw to hold it nice and secure. Use the wrench to secure the zipper screw. I am very happy that this setup is beautiful, safe and easy to maintain.
