Is this wide enough to clean a 4" dryer vent pipe if pulled through the pipe?

I would think so. It has about a 5" diameter (I think) I just use them to dust the ceiling. Make sure you get a pole for it, since this item is just the head. Good luck.

It is about 6 inches in diameter un-compressed, think it could be able pass through if pipe straight. Elbows>>>not sure ???? I works GREAT for spider webs, just spin it, then spin on lawn to clean web off. Hope that helps

I was using a 3" ABS pipe with a Fernco adapter. The adapter had a 1/4" wall thickness which fit snugly inside the 4" ducting on the ventilator. A Schedule 40 4" PVC pipe at 4 1/2" OD will be too large, but it might fit inside the PVC pipe.

I am using this on a Maytag with a center vent. I had to trim the unit down to fit the needed 18 inches of space to cover. Once you trim the unit, I recommend using aluminum tape to seal the edges and side seams. Since I have installed this device, I have had no issues with my dryer taking too long to dry clothes.

No this is to make the connection from vent pipe to dryer easy. If you need an vent less than 10$ at any hardware store but this item takes the bends out which can help prevent clogging and reduces fire hazards

John .. I did not measure as I was using it to vent an electric dryer. Godo Luck

I measured the opening on the diffuser and nothing larger than 2 3/8 inches would work. If your dryer is smaller, you could maybe put a thick rubber band around the end of the dryer to enable the diffuser to fit.

Certainly. I got it because dryer vent exited into the garage and over the years I had accumulated about 1/4 inch of lent near the exit. This lint trap from Fantech has successfully captured most of the lint which escaped from my dryer. There still very fine lint which is not trapped. I know because I attached an old nylon hose from my wife to the vent exit. It was very minor. You will also need to use some foam backed strips to seal around the door flange.

Mine is 4 1/2" wide. I have [picked up larger items when there has been an edge or protrusion to grab.

I used it primarily to clear the flex hose, I have about a 12 feet run with an accessible coupling in the middle. The bristles are quite soft and pliable so you may be able to run it thro' the filter channel inside the machine. I think if I was to try this I would feed it by hand into the machine rather than spin it up with an electric drill, that way you can detect if it will get caught up anywhere. I would guess that the minimum opening that you could safely ut this brush into would be 2" diameter. I hope it works for you.

Yes that will work just fine. This box does measure slightly less than 41/4" behind the nailing flanges. This is a very sturdy and well made dryer box.

If you can find an adapter, you can. It may not be a good idea to shrink the size of vent since this is a powerful vent and the matched vent pipe size will fully take its max vent function. 5" vent size is kind of too small, but you can if you have no other choice.

hi, I measured it, and the fit will be close. The very broadest part of the product is broader than 3 inches--at least 3.25 inches across. The edges of that part, though, are flexible. It looks to me like it might bend just enough to use in a 3" drain opening. Definitely some risk it won't work, but if you're as frustrated with non-working drain stoppers as we were, it's probably worth a shot.

It is standard 4" dryer duct. The duct goes director into the unit. Works great.

Hi, Mike - the duct diameter is 4 inches. I used a regular 4" flexible dryer vent pipe to run to the exhaust vent. Thanks, Larry.

not sure , I don't know the OD of 4 inch PVC , measure the OD of your pipe and compare it to the OD of 4 inch galvanized vent pipe at Home Depot or someplace .

It isn't recommended by manufacturer and I have doubts about it working that way. The springs are sufficient for use horizontally but not sure about verticle. I mounted it at the wall and brought the pipe into it from the vertical. It meant that the dryer has to sit out a few inches farther but it wasn't an issue for us.
